The Silver Chair

Puddleglum hoists Jill up on his shoulders so she can look through the hole emanating light. Jill manages to push herself up through the opening, where she immediately gets hit in the mouth with a snowball, causing her to issue a muffled cry and fall to the snow-covered ground outside the hole. When Jill looks around, she sees a variety of creatures partaking in the Great Snow Dance, an annual Narnian tradition that involves dancing and throwing snowballs.

When Jill realizes she has made it back to the surface, she gets the attention of everyone she can and asks them to help her pull her friends out of the ground. Soon, a team works to locate Puddleglum, Rilian, and Scrubb, who aren’t sure what has happened. They think it looks like someone attacked Jill and took her away. They think it possible that they merely found a different layer of the Underland and are still far away from the surface.

Feeling brave, Scrubb asks to climb atop Puddleglum’s shoulders with his sword in hand. When he emerges from the hole, he tries to fight a variety of Narnians, who he believes are his enemy. However, Jill quickly explains what has happened, and Scrubb calms down, happy to be out of the Underland. Eventually, Puddleglum and Rilian make it out of the hole as well. The Narnians are stunned to see Rilian, who they recognize immediately. Once everyone is safe, the Narnians offer the group food, drinks, and shelter, which they happily accept.
