Lucy feels quiet.

She didn't know she could feel quiet, but she is, as she sits under a tree and picks at her skirt, pull threads and lint away.

She's made her choice, whether she told Caspian she'd wait or not, but in the meantime--

She's alive.

And she still doesn't know what she thinks about that.

With great and offended dignity: "He stole my clothing with magic.

And he would not give it back for ages either."

"I do not know," Mary says, primly.

"I do not understand the sort of person who goes around stealing other people's clothes."

Mary is Above That.

Mary nods, solemnly.

"He is very troublesome. But also," she adds, with a sigh, "I have to be grateful to him for helping with the Dark."

She doesn't sound terribly happy about it.

"Did he do something like stealing your clothing too?"

"Well.

Perhaps," Mary says, magnanimously, "he has reformed."

"I can kick him," Mary offers, brightening.

"I promised Duo I would not hit anybody unless they tried to hit me or hurt me, but I did not promise anything about kicking."

"Well, I would not if he did not."

Mary is very patient.

"I am grateful to him. I am going to give him a very nice Christmas gift. It is only if he does, that is all."

Very earnestly: "That would be kind of you, if he will listen."

Mary looks rather curious.

"What does he owe you a favor for?"

"What sort of accident?" asks Mary, with a frown.

Mary Disapproves of accidents.

Mary . . . looks mostly confused, as she attempts to assimilate this new piece of information.



"I thought," she says, at length, "that only God could do that."

She considers for another moment more; and then adds, her brow very deeply furrowed, "I do not see how it is something one can do by accident."

"Magic like that," Mary says - less firmly than she would like - "does not happen by accident."

And then, confused all over again, "And how can it be bad?"

A short pause.

"Many people I like are dead," Mary says, finally, her frown deepening.

"And everyone I knew in India is dead. Also my parents. And my aunt."

Mary is almost certain this does not mean she is supposed to be dead also.

Lucy is not very specific.

"How," Mary asks, reasonably, "is it different?"
