Narnian Nuances

[Destined-To-Reign]

Welcome to a brand new game! The idea for this game was conceived by starkat.

Person 1 posts: The Silver Chair, page 95, 1st full sentence.
"The rain fell steadily all the evening, and all the night, dashing against the windows of the castle, and Jill never head it but slept deeply, past supper time and past midnight."

Person 2 goes and gets their copy of The Silver Chair, and posts: the 1st full sentence of page 95, of The Silver Chair. Then they go ahead to post the new phrase: The Magician's Nephew, page 113, sentence 1: "Well," said the He-Beaver, at last, "What, in the name of Aslan, are these?

Then person three posts their version of that sentence.

The catch of the game is that, because there are so many different editions of the Narnia books, many of our sentences will be different from each others, and it will be neat to see the differences between the versions.

Happy playing, and I'll start us off:
