Afternoon Delight
Meanwhile...
A boy sits in Mr. Grey's library. He isn't sure how he got here. He was following his sister through some coats, and somehow ended up surrounded by books. They aren't even interesting books. He can't understand a word of some of them.
He can't find a way out of the room, and boredom is setting in - sure to make him grumpy. Unexpectedly, one of the bookcases opens into the room. Through the previously hidden door, two figures walk in. One is a woman dressed all in white, and the other is a rathre goofy looking man dressed in purple. The boy immediately demands an explanation of his whereabouts.
"Patience, my dear boy. All in due time. Perhaps you would like some of this delightful candy?"
The boy looks at it suspiciously.
"What is it?"
The woman opens the box to reveal large pieces of turkish delight.
"Turkish delight! My favorite!"
He reaches out to grab a piece. The man in purple half-heartedly mutters:
"Stop. Don't."
It's too late, as the boy has alreaady stuffed a piece into his mouth and chomps on it greedily while reaching for another.
Several hours later, as the sun is setting outside, the poor boy is still eating. No matter how much he eats, there is always more in the box. The man and woman have long since left, but even though the boy is now sick of the stuff he can't make himself quit eating.
He is soon the size of a beached whale, and has to be rolled off by a clan of tiny, funnily colored, singing men.
Edmund Pevensie (Narninian King, Innocent) has been killed.
