More Dust! I do like reading from Elizar's view sometimes and we get to see a bit more of what life is like in the city. Poor Elizar... Peter keeps coming to him with demands instead of the rest of the Table but Elizar benefits from this too: more intimately acquainted with the Pevensies and I'm sure he can pull in a favor or two from them if he does manage to complete most of Peter's demands.
And speaking of which... so Peter needs Elizar to get onto the island of old Cair Paravel. Perhaps to dig out some of the old treasures, or other things hidden amongst the ruins? I wonder though.. when Caspian and Edmund were there (in The Bone's Prayer), the old ghosts still haunted the place. Ed released some of them but there are likely to be others... wouldn't these restless spirits still haunt the ruins? And would that affect Elizar on this madcap quest the High King's sending him on?
Lady Bracken is an interesting woman. She asked for so little considering the nature of Elizar's request. (I also love how he compares her to Susan, as well as how the aristocratic accents [which neither Pevensie had] grates on his nerves.)
And oh dear, a Calormene spy among the ranks! For a gangster, Elizar's quite honorable and not stupid. He allows the Narnians to be taken away only because there would be more bloodshed otherwise. Also, the Calormene captain is an interesting man as well... not sure what I make of him just yet.
