@Ren: Awsome pics again. I just love the way you characterise them and am impressed how you're keeping up with getting one done each day
@Swan: Hello there, glasses and mustache. Are they removable?

I was quite struck by that passage too. Also how you can convince yourself that someone or something "isn't really that bad". (His comment that probably half the things people say about her aren't true, and "she was jolly nice to me", are pretty powerful lies we tell ourselves sometimes).
Another quote that struck me is "He would never have found his way if the moon hadn't come out by the time he got to the other river". Pretty sure that was Aslan's doing, and there was Aslan keeping him safe even while he was betraying him!!

My first thought was "it depends how old you are" (you know they get bigger as you get older), but I think that's just Aslan. I guess he seemed pretty enormous to Edmund who a) was still fairly young, b) might not have seen one before (depending on his family's zoo and circus-visiting habits those days) c) certainly hadn't been that close to one and d) was cold, tired, hungry, knew he was doing the wrong thing, was terrified of Aslan and well...I just guess it looked pretty enormous in the moonlight.

That's beautiful. Hadn't thought of FC as the herald!
