Make your choice, adventurous Stranger;
Strike the bell and bide the danger,
Or wonder, till it drives you mad,
What would have followed if you had.
Hexe always says I'm already mad, and I'm professional enough to not invite trouble. So I left it alone.
Of course, Doug being of the right age, he might see Aslan and be totally gobsmacked. The Chronicles are well-known for people of my age and older, and Doug's about ten years my senior, if I remember correctly.
