"All right, all right. You needn't shout. I'm not so deaf as all that.
What do you mean by/_o_i_g/_e_e/
to tell me that nobody's been killed?
Why should anyone have been killed?"

You know.. it's a nice thing, to know that nobody's been killed. I don't know why Trumpkin's complaining.

That's right, Valandil! You're next!

I think Trumpkin is mostly confused - everything is peaceful, so he sees no need for anyone to tell him that nobody's been killed.

If he's complaining, it's because they don't speak loud enough for him to hear properly.
When he was young, people spoke loud and clear, not like these days ...

Oh, yes... I remember the scene. "Useless? I should say he is!" And then he gets out an ear-horn which seems to be the old-fashioned form of hearing aids... I get the impression it doesn't work very well.

No, I think he hears fine as soon as he uses the ear-horn - at least those misunderstandings stop then. They were before he used the horn, but he blames the people and claim that they mumble when speaking.

I was always under the impression that we never did tell how well the ear-horn worked because after he used it, the owl only said maybe one more thing and then Trumpkin showed his bad hearing again by speaking really loudly.

Ahh.. I love discussing the deep, important concepts behind Lewis... ear-horns are deeply and intellectually moving.

I'll have to reread that scene, so that I can join the deep and intellectual discussion properly

but we'll probably have to start a new thread for that. Don't want to get in trouble with the Big Man <shifty eyes> ...

I was just thinking the same thing - the game thread is not the place for deep and intellectual discussions (of a more considerable length)

Hope that won't be a thread-killer.

It includes one particularly odd word that I didn't remember and don't think I've seen anywhere else. But I'll give a little help with that if needed, once we get to that point.

Thread-killer? Pah! I thrive on good long ones! Hee hee.

Susan (QUEEN Susan! ) was indeed the speaker. Bolded words are incorrect - the rest are right. The bolded asterix indicates where you left out a word.

Great start!

"That was my folly, Edmund, of which I cry you mercy.
/_e_/when he was with us in Narnia,
truly this Prince bore himself in another
fashion than he does now in Tashbaan.
For I take you all to witness what/_a_v_l_o_s/_e_t_/he did in that great
tournament and/_a_t_l_d_/which our brother the High King made for him,
and how meekly and courteously he
consorted with us the/s_a_e/_f/_e_e_/days.
But here, in his own city, he was shown another face."

Bolded words are new guesses. You figured that out.
