All night he rode southward, choosing by-ways and bridle paths through woods as long as he was in country that he knew; but afterwards he kept to the high road. Destrier was as excited as his master at this unusual journey, and Caspian, though tears had come into his eyes at saying good-bye to Doctor Cornelius, felt brave and, in a way, happy, to think that he was King Caspian riding to seek adventures, with his sword on his left hip and Queen Susan's magic horn on his right.
在他所熟悉的土地上，他整夜馬不停蹄地奔向南方。開始他只敢走小路或便道，後來，當他確信沒有伏兵時，索性縱馬在大路上飛奔起來。戴思特裏爾對這不尋常的旅行同樣激動萬分，而凱斯賓盡管在同克奈爾斯博士告別時眼淚汪汪，現在則勇氣十足，甚至感到有些快樂，因為他獲得了真正的自由，並且將像傳說中的那些遊俠騎士一樣，在探險的路上披荊斬棘，一往無前。
