At the end of chapter 5 of The Magician's Nephew Digory and Polly had both touched their yellow rings in order to escape the Queen's evil clutches and return to the Wood. Unfortunately, as we enter chapter 6, it's clear that they haven't been able to shake her off. The Queen is able to come with them, holding on to Polly's hair. At first, Polly doesn't realize what's happening; she thinks that it's Digory who's grabbing her hair. That's why she yells at him to let go. But once they've both emerged from the pool, the shocking realization suddenly dawns on them that the Queen has come along for the ride. They realize something else too: the rings don't simply work for those who wear them, but for anyone touching the wearers. Uncle Andrew hadn't told Digory about this, but to be fair to him, he didn't know about it himself.
