Chapter Summaries & Analyses
Everyone is on edge about Mrs. Coulter. As they travel, Lee monitors the weather and believes there will be fog. They stop to wait it out in the mist, but as they are waiting arrows fly toward them and kill three gyptian men. Pan turns into a leopard and knocks Lyra to the ground to protect her from the arrows. Lyra cannot see who is attacking them, but suddenly a dæmon attacks Pan. Lyra is tied up, and a bag is put over her head. She is thrown into a sled with Pan, who is injured. She cries for help from Iorek and holds Pan. Pan, as a mouse, says he thinks they were attacked by Tartars and that John Faa was hit. They ride for a long time, and when they slow down, a man removes Lyra’s hood and asks for her name. She lies and tells them her name is Lizzie Brooks. The man asks about the armored bear and the people with her. Lyra lies, saying they are just traders. They stop outside an arena, and the man cuts the cord around her ankles. They take her Inside, and at the doctor’s instruction, Sister Clara, a nurse, inspects Lyra and asks her questions.
