Adventure in NARNIA (79)

" It seemsto me, my dears, " said Mrs Beaver, " that it is very important to know just when he slipped away. How much he can tell her depends on how much he heard. For instance, had we started talking o Aslan before he left ?  If not, then we may do very well, for she won't know that Aslan has come to Narnia, or that we are meeting him, and will be quite off her guard as far as that is  concerned. "

" I don't remember his being here when we were talking about Aslan ー " began Peter, but Lucy interrupting him.

" Oh, yes, he was, " she said miserably ; " don't you remember, it was he who asked whether the Witch couldn't turn Aslan into stone too ? "

" So, he did, by Jove, " said Peter, " just the sort of thing he would say, too ! "

" Worse and worse, " said Mr Beaver, " and the next thing is this. Was he still here when I told you that the place for meeting Aslan was the Stone Table ? "
