![]() ![]() Father had got a job lecturing in America for sixteen weeks that summer, and Mother was to go with him because she hadn't had a real holiday for ten years. For deep down inside him he liked bossing and bullying and, though he was a puny little person who couldn't have stood up even to Lucy, let alone Edmund, in a fight, he knew that there are dozens of ways to give people a bad time if you are in your own home and they are only visitors.Įdmund and Lucy did not at all want to come and stay with Uncle Harold and Aunt Alberta. ![]() But he was quite glad when he heard that Edmund and Lucy were coming to stay. He liked books if they were books of information and had pictures of grain elevators or of fat foreign children doing exercises in model schools.Įustace Clarence disliked his cousins the four Pevensies, Peter, Susan, Edmund and Lucy. In their house there was very little furniture and very few clothes on beds and the windows were always open.Įustace Clarence liked animals, especially beetles, if they were dead and pinned on a card. They were vegetarians, non-smokers and teetotallers and wore a special kind of underclothes. ![]() They were very up-to-date and advanced people. He didn't call his Father and Mother "Father" and "Mother", but Harold and Alberta. I can't tell you how his friends spoke to him, for he had none. His parents called him Eustace Clarence and masters called him Scrubb. THERE was a boy called Eustace Clarence Scrubb, and he almost deserved it. ![]()
