"Mary Lennox, you have been friend to me since having met me, and you've cared for a tree. I've seen how you care for growing things, and I think there is no other more suited to be a Gardener that I have ever met, and if thou had but been born in Narnia, I believe they'd think there's nymph blood in thee." She talks, and it grows a little more lilting and a little different. "And for that, I say that to all thou would have know, thou shall be Lady Mary the Contrary, Royal Gardener, for it suits thee." Lucy leans over, then, and kisses Mary's forehead, very softly. "And I think I need not tell thee to bear it well."
