Surprised by Lewis and Gresham

Rat! he found breath to whisper, shaking. Are you afraid?
Afraid? murmured the Rat, his eyes shining with unutterable love.
Afraid! Of Him? O, never, never! And yet -- and yet -- O, Mole, I am afraid!
Then the two animals, crouching to the earth, bowed their heads and did worship.

That is interesting. I didn't realize that David Gresham had such a difficult time as a young man in school. It must have been very worrisome for Lewis.
Thanks for posting it.

"Well," said Pooh, "what I like best -- " and then he had to stop and think. Because although Eating Honey was a very good thing to do, there was a moment just before you began to eat it which was better than when you were, but he didn't know what it was called.

Thanks for even MORE industrious investigations, Sven.

There is a little bit about David Gresham in the FAQ - you go to Andrew Rilstone's FAQ.... a direct link .
