Edmund was a graver and quieter man than Peter, and great in council and judgment. He was called King Edmund the Just.
Edmund is, without question, my favorite of the four. His story is the story of redemption. And it’s beautiful. I have so many wonderful quotes about him that this post is going to get rather lengthy. But you don’t mind, right? 😊
Charlie had volunteered and he was only two months old. But nobody seemed to mind. He had asked for the job and he was to have it and no one envied him. So, on Friday evening, the thirteenth of November, Charlie left for the O’Donnell’s with his little green ladder and two extra nightgowns. Trotting in the grass with his ladder dragging in the dirt, Charlie came upon the O’Donnell’s small house. His only instruction: never blink at cats.
A rusted, barbed-wire fence stretched for miles between a bare country field and a sprawling forest. And on the field side of this fence were two figures; the tall one standing, the small one on the ground.
But as for Lucy, she was always happy and golden-haired, and all princes in those parts desired her to be their Queen, and her own people called her Queen Lucy the Valiant.
Lucy is the ray of sunshine, the gleam of hope, and the light of faith. Throughout the books, she is focused on the Lion, and more than once she shows her siblings what it is to follow him. Lucy seems to see Aslan more often, and there is obviously a special bond between them. She is lovable because of how she loves Him. And it becomes clear that she loves Him because He loves her. And all through the stories He never stops calling to her.
And Susan grew into a tall and gracious woman with black hair that fell almost to her feet and the kings of the countries beyond the sea began to send ambassadors asking for her hand in marriage. And she was called Susan the Gentle.
Susan: the Pevensie who deserted Narnia, or the girl who tried to be a grownup, or the one spoilsport of the four. These statements seem to sum up what a good many people think about this character. Some seem to think her almost heartless in her older years.
