Question
Read this paragraph from Chapter IV of C.S. Lewis’ The Chronicles of Narnia and answer the question that follows.
The Queen took from somewhere among her wrappings a very small bottle which looked as if it were made of copper. Then, holding out her arm, she let one drop fall from it on the snow beside the sledge. Edmund saw the drop for a second in mid-air, shining like a diamond. But the moment it touched the snow there was a hissing sound and there stood a jewelled cup full of something that steamed. The dwarf immediately took this and handed it to Edmund with a bow and a smile; not a very nice smile. Edmund felt much better as he began to sip the hot drink. It was something he had never tasted before, very sweet and foamy and creamy, and it warmed him right down to his toes.

The point of view used in the above paragraph is **third person**. The narrator describes the actions and feelings of Edmund and other characters without using "I" or "you," which indicates that it is not first or second person. The narrative presents the events from an outside perspective.
