#Turkish delight narnia quote full#
‘Two Sons of Adam and two Daughters of Eve, neither more nor less?” and Edmund, with his mouth full of Turkish Delight, kept on saying, “Yes, I told you that before,” and forgetting to call her “Your Majesty” but she didn’t seem to mind now.Īt last the Turkish Delight was all finished and Edmund was looking very hard at the empty box and wishing that she would ask him whether he would like some more. “You are sure there are just four of you?” she asked. She seemed especially interested in the fact that there were four of them, and kept on coming back to it. She got him to tell her that he had one brother and two sisters, and that one of his sisters had already been in Narnia and had met a Faun there, and that no one except himself and his brother and his sisters knew anything about Narnia. At first Edmund tried to remember that it is rude to speak with one’s mouth full, but soon he forgot about this and thought only of trying to shovel down as much Turkish Delight as he could, and the more he ate the more he wanted to eat, and he never asked himself why the Queen should be so inquisitive. While he was eating the Queen kept asking him questions. He was quite warm now, and very comfortable.
Each piece was sweet and light to the very centre and Edmund had never tasted anything more delicious. The Queen let another drop fall from her bottle on to the snow, and instantly there appeared a round box, tied with green silk ribbon, which, when opened, turned out to contain several pounds of the best Turkish Delight. “Turkish Delight, please, your Majesty,” said Edmund.
‘‘It is dull, Son of Adam, to drink without eating,’’ said the Queen presently.
