Hey rth. Wonderful chapter. And all these wonderful links. If this is what your household's dinosaur 'phase' has unearthed, ours was very pallid by comparison : )

Love that Mary can be appropriate, even though the men in her life think she's incapable of it. Also love that she's aware of her own manias, when so often we really aren't.

Your review made me flail. I had been thinking of Mary as the one with the dragon, but it's really Richard, that goat. And how Eustace is the only one in the circle who will not have known Richard when he was all grumpy, clever, awesome, adventuring, insightful, but just as someone who is mean to a person whom Eustace deeply admires. I don't do angsty drama especially, and Eustace just isn't a character prone to angst regardless in my view, but I see him being very judgmental of Richard

Yes, it's a hard one to solve, because even today, barring miraculous intervention by the divine, both conditions are effectively a one-way downward spiral. And that's doubly true of the 1940's when there were no medications to slow their progress. (and while I can utterly accept divine intervention and miracles, they're not necessarily great plot devices - magic doohickey, and all that...) Still, perhaps Richard needs a paw applied to the upside of his heads, so he stops behaving like a dragon : )

We have Walking with Dinosaurs, Walking with Big AL, Chased by Sea Monsters, the Giant Claw, Prehistoric Park and many others. Love them.

Thanks so much for the awesome and insightful comments in the review. I'd not specifically intended for the two parts to fold in on each other as they do, but that is what happened, with both Lucy and Eustace looking for Narnia, but not in the right way, and finding it here, but not in the way they expected.

I would be so lost without reviewer feedback. thanks so much.

Hurrah! I enjoyed this chapter quite a bit. It made getting up early worthwhile. I like your way of writing Eustace.

[rthstewart]

Thank you so much. Eustace is a really fun character to do and I so appreciate your commenting!
