"They're little," Susan says. "I'm not."

She looks back at her brother.

"Merry is little, too."

"No, I'm not," he replies.

"Yes, you are," Susan replies.

"Am not!"

"Children," Amy says, in a tone that Caspian may not have heard before. It's far more Mother than Queen.

"Sorry, Mama," Susan says.

"Sorry, Mama," Merry echoes. His face takes on a very determined expression and he makes his way over to his sister and uncle.

Amy hangs back and very carefully does not make eye contact with Caspian.

"This is Susan. I'm Merry. It's very nice to meet you."
