Father had got a job lecturing in America for sixteen weeks that summer, and Mother was to go with him because she hadn’t had a real holiday for ten years. For deep down inside him he liked bossing and bullying and, though he was a puny little person who couldn’t have stood up even to Lucy, let alone Edmund, in a fight, he knew that there are dozens of ways to give people a bad time if you are in your own home and they are only visitors.Ĥ / The Voyage of the Dawn Treader Edmund and Lucy did not at all want to come and stay with Uncle Harold and Aunt Alberta. But he was quite glad when he heard that Edmund and Lucy were coming to stay.
Eustace Clarence disliked his cousins the four Pevensies, Peter, Susan, Edmund and Lucy. He liked books if they were books of information and had pictures of grain elevators or of fat foreign children doing exercises in model schools. Eustace Clarence liked animals, especially beetles, if they were dead and pinned on a card. In their house there was very little furniture and very few clothes on beds and the windows were always open.
They were vegetarians, non-smokers and teetotalers and wore a special kind of underclothes. They were very up-to-date and advanced people. He didn’t call his Father and Mother “Father” and “Mother,” but Harold and Alberta. I can’t tell you how his friends spoke to him, for he had none.
