This was a tough one, but I worked it out in the end. It's Rabadash to Aslan at the end of HHB, just before he turns into a donkey.

Try this one:
"Oh it's all very well for you."

I had to go look this up, eventually. Still, it's a challenge just to do that! It's Aravis to Shasta when they enter Tashbaan, about how she should really be entering the city in a litter.

"I wish Aslan had turned up before it came to this."
 
Trumpkin to Trufflehunter, just before Peter fights Miraz. (Confession: I looked it up - I thought it was Peter but I was wrong.)

"Well, I can't say it's one I like very much."

Something on the lines of "Yes, I know. Wait a minute." (The only occasion in the books where Lucy was less than her usual pleasant, kind and thoughtful self. Understandable though, considering how the white witch had nearly killed Edmund).
Aslan gently reproved Lucy with, "Others are also at the point of death. Must more people die for Edmund?"

Try this: "This is the most extraordinary case in the whole of my medical career."

That woulkd be Dotor Kalanadhabhatla, the famous London physician, an emigratee from India, who was taking care of Ms Kirke, Digory's mother.

"you are the bravest and most wood-wise of all my subjects, but also the most malapert abd disobedient."

Was it young Digory, arguing with Polly over whether he should strike the bell with the hammer, in the palace of Charn in 'The Magician's Nephew'? It was, of course, his action in doing this that released Jadis from her sleep.

"If I may make so bold, as to drink to your majesty's very good health."
 
I believe that was the fox to the White Witch, just before she turned them all into stone.

You were incorrect in your last guess, so it remains to be answered:
"That's the worst of girls."

Edmund regarding them being lost about what Susan said about not knowing where they were either.

"We don't know about queens."

MrBob
 
I think that's either the Duffers when Reepicheep says that Lucy is a queen or else the Dwarves in TLB when Lucy speaks to them. Probably the former.

Peeps
 
You were correct, my quote was made by the Fox.

Is the answer to yours Digory (to Polly) in his garden right at the beginning of 'The Magician's Nephew' ?

The dwarves could have said "we don't know about queens" sarcastically as, although they knew about them, they wanted mothing to do with either side by this time, as a result of being deceived by Shift and co.

Try this: "Queen of Narnia, indeed! Of all the cheek!"

Mr. Beaver in LWW when the Witch has just been announced to Aslan by the dwarf with the title of Queen of Narnia.

"I'm a free Narnian. And why should I talk slaves' and fools' talk?"
 
I believe that is Bree the taliking horse, from 'The Horse and His Boy' replying to Shasta, who is shocked that when mentioning the Tisroc, Bree didn't say "May he live forever" as was customary.

"What about my second best sword you broke on the sea serpent?"
