"Audrey," said the old woman, "do you know, I once lived in a country which had a very dismal name? It was called the Kingdom of Darkness."
"I shouldn't like to go there," said Stephen. "I don't like to be in the dark."
"I was born there," said Granny Robin, "and I did not notice how dark and gloomy it was. I was used to it, and it did not strike me as being very dismal, not for a long, long time."
"How did you find out it was dark, Granny Robin?"
"I looked across the river to the other side."
"And what did you see there? asked Stephen.
"I saw another kingdom, Stephie, which was full of light; glorious sunshine was streaming on it; there was not a dark corner to be seen in it."
"Had that country a name?" said Audrey.
"Yes, it was named the Kingdom of Light."
"Didn't you want to go there, Granny Robin?"
