I was listening to the audiobook of The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe today, and noticed that Lucy had two double quotes in LWW – meaning, she said a word twice (I didn’t count quotes like “Aslan, Aslan”). I also remember one double quote in The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, and since I have nothing better to do, I’m posting them here.
“I don’t care what you think, and I don’t care what you say. You can tell the Professor or you can write to Mother or you can do anything you like. I know I’ve met a Faun in there and – I wish I’d stayed there and you are all beasts, beasts.” (LWW, Chapter 5)
“Oh, how can they?” said Lucy, tears streaming down her cheeks. “The brutes, the brutes!” for now that the first shock was over the shorn face of Aslan looked to her braver, and more beautiful, and more patient than ever. (LWW, Chapter 14)
“Oh, the funnies, the funnies,” cried Lucy, bursting into laughter. “Did you make them like that?” (VDT, Chapter 11)
I have no idea if there are any more double quotes from Lucy, but I’ll be on the lookout from now on. In case you come across one, please let me know so that I can add it to my list.
Very good article. I’m facing many of these issues as well..
