** Jadis loose in London is basically one afternoon-long CMOA. It's the biggest compensation for any preachiness in C.S. Lewis's books that he had a sense of humor about this kind of thing.

"Aunt Letty was a very tough old lady; aunts often were in those days."

--> "I didn’t believe in Magic till today. I see now it’s real. Well if it is, I suppose all the old fairy tales are more or less true. And you’re simply a wicked, cruel magician like the ones in the stories. Well, [[LaserGuidedKarma I’ve never read a story in which people of that sort weren’t paid out in the end, and I bet you will be.]] And serve you right.”
