The second quote is from The Lady of the Green Kirtle in TSC, right?

Be more specific, please! Tell who said it and describe the occasion.
"This is an ugly furrow to plow."
In VDT, Caspian on the Dufflepuds' Island when he learned that there were invisible people cutting them off from the Dawn Treader. As an interesting note, it's spelled "plough" in my copy. Don't you love English English?
"And there are no such things as lions."
In Prince Caspian, King Miraz to Caspian when Caspian was very young and had told Miraz all about the stories his nurse had told him, and Miraz told Caspian that it was all lies and nonsense.
"But there is another way."
In HHB, the Raven to Edmund, Susan, Mr. Tumnus, and others when talking about how the Tisroc could march into Archenland and then Narnia through the desert, when Shasta was overhearing their conversation after being mistaken for Corin.
Here are some from me:
"Anyone who wished to go there must come to Aslan..."
"Very short rations for dinner and I got less than anyone"
"I think it's empty."

The second one, I'm guessing, is Eustace writing in his diary on the Dawn Treader....?
The second is from The Silver Chair. The bullies said it, right?

"I think it's empty"
Was this Aravis, in HHB, when she and her friend the Tarkheena Lasraleen were hiding in the palace of the Tisroc, and overheard Rabadash's scheme to invade Archenland?
"It's not horrid".
Maybe Lucy, in response to Eustace's description of the painting of the ship in her bedroom, just before they, and Edmund, are sucked into the picture in question?
My questions:
1. "Go around to the police station, at once, and tell them there's a dangerous lunatic at large!"
2. "Now, sir, are you animal, vegetable or mineral?
3. "Edmund and Rabadash nearly met then, but the press has separated them."

"I think it's empty"
Nope, try again.
The other two of the quotes from my last post were correctly answered.
"It's not horrid".
I thought it might be someone, maybe Jill, to Golg in SC when Golg was telling them about Bism and said that it must be terrible to live up on the surface.

1. Aunt Letty to one of the servants - Sarah, I think - in TMN, referring to Jadis.DAVID GALLICO said:
2. The bulldog to Uncle Andrew, in TMN.
3. The Hermit of the Southern March, in HHB, commentating on the Battle of Anvard.
"It's not horrid" - I don't think this is right, but is it Lucy to Susan regarding the mice that gnaw Aslan's ropes?

Congratulations, Laurel, on making a clean sweep of all three quotes!
But do you remember the name of the Raven?
Swallowpad, though I presume that was just a typo (I'm having a tough time envisioning a "sallow" raven.)
"I think I can haul a mouse up without any help!"

Griffle, leader of the dwarves in 'The Last Battle' after Tirian, Eustace and Jill release them from the Calormenes, and show them that the 'Aslan' who ordered their captivity was a scam.
Of all the poisonous little beasts!

I always assumed that Sallowpad was so named because of his feet...

""...of your courtesy, let me ride with you tomorrow, that I may see this fair thing."
Boy, nothing like being wrong for 40 years and never realizing it! I always thought the raven's name was "Swallowpad", but it isn't!
The statement about riding to see the fair thing was uttered by Drinian when Prince Rilian had told him of the beautiful vision he'd been seeing (who turned out to be the Emerald Witch).
"It wouldn't do to have the brat fainting from hunger along the way."
