So Edmund and Susan make it out of Russia and into the Ukraine, and eventually arrive in Odessa where they are met by Tebbitt, who has a cargo ship waiting to take them to Istanbul, and then on to Greece, and eventually home.

Sex ensues for Susan/Tebbitt and Edmund is left with an empty bottle of vodka, a toothless Ukranian sea captain named Vasily, and a tin of caviar.

Edmund picked morosely at the caviar and looked up at Vasily hopefully. "Any more vodka, by any chance?"

He tried to speak loudly to avoid hearing the rhythmic thumps coming from the forecabin. The lovemaking didn't affect Vasily one bit as the man was deaf.

But Edmund was nowhere near drunk enough to drown out that -- oh Aslan, no -- high pictched squeal that surely couldn't be Susan's.

It was obviously a sea gull. Or, a porpoise perhaps.

Edmund took a bite of caviar and wondered idly if there was any spare tubing on the boat with which he could devise a still and make vodka.

Because caviar wasn't helping. At all.

Edmund was approaching sobriety faster than they were approaching Greece. It was a pitiful state of affairs. He slumped in a pile of lines and nets in the stern of the boat. Here, with the stench of petrol and the roar of the engines, he was at least out of the way of the very persistent and noisy reunion in the bow cabin ( ... )

Edmund sat up and looked at the silver rectangular container in Tebbitt's hand. He thought he could hear the liquid inside sloshing around as the other man waved the flask in front of him ( ... )

Another spew warning. Oh what have we wrought? Brilliant. "Susan is to aged bourbon as Peter is to tequila." Amazing

I remembered the Peter and Susan conversation scene in AW, so of course it made sense to reference it here. :-)

And you know, research is fun. And slightly challenging as I'm not really into alcohol either.

Tebbit was shocked (and yet not) to discover Susan sipping on a glass of fine aged bourbon- *his* fine aged bourbon- when he drops by her cabin after leaving Edmund.

"You sleep too soundly", she said, "and I was suspicious the moment I realized there seemed to be no alcohol on the entire boat."

1. I am having trouble choosing between "No jury would convict him" and Edmund opening his other eye as my favorite part.

2. TEBBITT IS WEARING A PEACOAT

2b. THERE IS A FLASK INSIDE IT
