So when had "God save the Queen" become more than just the anthem?

That's what Edmund's been pondering-- an excuse for brooding the night away, really, since he knows he won't get the correct answer, a definite line to draw in time. He would stay in his head tonight if only he weren't getting that look from-- he had said it aloud, hadn't he?

For some reason It was the best of times, it was the worst of times comes to his mind, and he has to even stifle a huff. He's looking at Lucy now, almost a bit too intently, his salvation from a spiral of gloom this evening. "Not in a month or so, no. Why, what happened?" He has a thought...

"Your mentioning the Great Snow Dance only reminded me that I'd forgotten to tell you that he made it into Narnia again, this time with a friend of his from school, Jill Pole." Lucy would never find it in herself to be jealous, but there was a note of longing in her voice that she couldn't quite quell.

"You'd forgotten?" There's a tinge of-- it's not despair, because that'd be downright silly and stupid but if stone-set Lucy had found the detail not worth remembrance-- well, that wasn't fair of him at all, was it?

His voice is colored with a childish wonder now. It's the best kind, you know. "That bally Experiment House of his? Just in time to save his skin from tests, too, I shouldn't think!"

In her defense, there'd been a number of things getting in the way, like how they so rarely saw Susan anymore. It wouldn't do to write things in a letter when it would be so much better in the telling.

But now, caught up in said telling, Lucy grinned at him. "I wouldn't know about that, but they were sent by Aslan on a quest."

Face falling for a moment, she added slowly, "They told me that Caspian--well, Caspian's gone."
