Is this what you meant by feeling strange? Do you make a habit of announcing your intention to leave moments before departure? To say that I am disappointed would be an understatement. Nevertheless, I am taking good care of your family. Lucy is distraught but she manages. I wonder how much time has passed for you, if your five months here was only five half-seconds there. Did you return at the same point at which you left Narnia? When your siblings follow will it be as if time here had never passed at all so that you are already together again in England? I have no delusions that they will not leave this place either. One day I know I must too. I will tell others about you, but rest easy, I will not tell them your name.

You were in "school uniform" in your portrait. I wish you luck with your admissions. Whatever it is your world holds for you, I know you will do great things. I hope you see your father and mother.

I played a good hand the last night I saw you. If I learn that you let me win due to knowledge of your own departure, I will make you regret it.

Shadow is missing. If you should see a black short-haired cat with one eye please keep him and leave a note for us. We will be out today and may come to fetch him.

Tianzi said that she would play hide and seek, but she warns us that she's very good.

[Are you going to stand for that Lucy?]

I suppose we'll have to see for ourselves, Lucy.

It's not possible that she is.

Let me wash my face, first.
