Business at the Swerving Swan Inn, west of Cair Paravel, had slowed down seriously, due to so many persons claiming to be committed to fulfilling quests and then doing nothing about them. Shangpo the Narnian Talking Orangutan was reluctantly laid off from his job. That made it a good time for him to be offered new and adventurous employment with a flying man and a Talking Duck. So he accompanied Grey Eagle/Copperfox and Smerdyakov back to the Monologues thread, to become part of the campaign against forum choke-ups.

Only in this peripheral way. In the Monologues thread, someone had actually said that an Orangutan was needed, so I remembered my old character of Shangpo. Still, if you actually do play out your unfinished underground escapade, I promise to come back and read it--provided that my father, who is ill, doesn't pass away in the real world.

I was just clearing out some files, and I found a speech I had written to be spoken by Peter to Lucy. I had it stored up for eventual use, on the assumption that Lucy would remain conscious of the existence of some living being BESIDES her horse. Despite the way things turned out, maybe it still is conceivable that eventually Lucy did remember that the Narnian world did not consist exclusively of herself and her horse. So, because this speech reflects thoughts I had about Narnia, can stand alone, and requires no reply or action, I might as well post it. Peter is talking to Lucy someplace or other, in view of their being adults but without heirs....

"Look at the four of us in the long run, Lu. Ed's married, and maybe Su can find someone better than Rabadash and get married as well. But probably you and I will never marry anyone; we both have a calling on our lives, I've felt it for a long time.
"Now think about our _four_ thrones. Aslan arranged for those four thrones, knowing in advance that we would come to sit in them. But would He expect _future_ quartets, generation after generation? I suppose that children of Ed and Angela could marry children of Su and whomever; but would that kind of thing _always_ produce another set of exactly four monarchs? That strains my credulity more than any magic ever did.
No, when Aslan set up the four thrones in Cair Paravel, He was planning a one-time thing, a _temporary_ thing. It may be that _none_ of us four will leave an heir who reigns as a King or Queen. So I feel we owe it to our subjects to help them learn better how to manage things...without us."
