***Varnafindë*** · 12-19-2008, 01:17 PM

Hadn't I seen this - or had I just forgotten?

Anyway, new question.

Who was Jadis fighting against in Charn?

hectorberlioz · 12-22-2008, 09:50 PM

She was fighting against her sister.

***Varnafindë*** · 12-23-2008, 06:26 AM

Correct!
Your go.
And good to see more people taking part in this!

hectorberlioz · 12-23-2008, 11:25 AM

Yeah, it's time to revitalize this thread!

In The Silver Chair, Eustace was mostly called by his nickname. What is it?

Midge · 12-23-2008, 02:09 PM

Scrubb. It wasn't his nickname. It was his surname.

Edit: I find myself laughing at my various reactions to the Rule in this thread. I'd completely forgotten about it...

hectorberlioz · 12-23-2008, 03:07 PM

Correct. Your turn now.

Midge · 12-23-2008, 03:34 PM

Sweetness!

In The Horse and His Boy, Shasta fell quite a bit on his first night of riding Bree. What broke his worst fall?

hectorberlioz · 12-23-2008, 09:11 PM

Wow, that is a toughie. I looked and looked. I will make an educated guess, however.

He fell on thick clover.

Midge · 12-23-2008, 09:56 PM

No, that isn't right. And it's in there. I can picture the quoted text in my mind right now. I've sort of got it memorized, but more as an image. It's when Shasta woke up the morning after their first ride and he's sore. Bree said, "It's not the falls. You couldn't have fallen more than a dozen times last night, and the only one that might have been nasty was broken by ___________ ." (here he may or may not interject that it must have been a pleasure to fall on what he fell on... I can't recall, but it seems like it was in there) "No, it's the riding that comes hard at first."

Okay, so that may not be an EXACT quote, but look it up and you'll find it's pretty darn close.

Whaddaya mean, you LOOKED? Is that allowed?

hectorberlioz · 12-23-2008, 09:58 PM

Of course it's allowed!

I spent a good deal of time thinking about it. And when I couldn't remember it, I had to, uh, use some help

.

Second guess: sand.

I think it's quite close, too - without looking (I always prefer not to look).
And also without looking, I recognize that bit about it being a pleasure to fall on it.

I seem to remember that it was a gorse bush or something other thorny ...

hectorberlioz · 12-24-2008, 12:53 PM

I suppose you've come closest to the answer, Varnafinde. If you'll ask the next question

...

Midge · 12-24-2008, 03:23 PM

Gorse bush it is indeed. It's your turn, Princess!

Just for reference, this is the quote I got that from:

"Ow, Bree," [Shasta] gasped. "I'm so sore. All over. I can hardly move."
"Good morning, small one," said Bree. "I was afraid you might feel a bit stiff. It can't be the falls. You didn't have more than a dozen or so, and it was all lovely, soft springy turf that must have been almost a pleasure to fall on. And the only one that might have been nasty was broken by that gorse bush. No: it's the riding itself that comes hard at first. What about breakfast? I've had mine."

So I was wrong about him saying that the gorse bush was a pleasure to fall on. Got them mixed up ...

Next, then:
What happened to Eustace when he was put forward to be sold as a slave?

Midge · 12-24-2008, 05:52 PM

Yeah... I was too. But I did remember it was in there somewhere!

Poor Eustace was dubbed "Sulky" and no one wanted to buy him as a slave, so he was thrown in for free with the other slaves and still no one wanted him as a two-for-one special.

***Varnafindë*** · 12-25-2008, 09:39 AM

Indeed.
And I must agree with Lewis that it might perhaps be worse not to be even wanted as a slave than to be sold as one ...

Midge · 12-25-2008, 09:45 PM

I would have to say that too. Poor Eustace!

How many steps led down to the Royal Treasury or whatever it was called at the Ruins of Cair Paravel in Prince Caspian?

hectorberlioz · 12-27-2008, 03:24 PM

Sixteen steps

.

Midge · 12-27-2008, 08:21 PM

Yessiree. Your turn, Hecty... I accidentally typed that, but I kind of like it. You're entitled to hate it if you like, Hector.

hectorberlioz · 12-27-2008, 08:35 PM

Alrighty. What is the name of Aslan's "father"? (Putting aside all theology about the trinity etc).
