And this again reminded them how hungry they were.

And just as they were all being reminded of this very strongly indeed, they saw ahead of them some ruined walls on a hill, and strong and upright, and really, to look at, as good as new--a great square tower.
'The top of that's just the exactly same size as the carpet,' said Jane.
'_I_ think it would be good to go to the top of that, because then none of the Abby-what's-its-names--I mean natives--would be able to take the carpet away even if they wanted to.

And some of us could go out and get things to eat--buy them honestly, I mean, not take them out of larder windows.' 'I think it would be better if we went--' Anthea was beginning; but Jane suddenly clenched her hands.
'I don't see why I should never do anything I want, just because I'm the youngest.

I wish the carpet would fit itself in at the top of that tower--so there!' The carpet made a disconcerting bound, and next moment it was hovering above the square top of the tower.
