Peridan the most foul

Mental note -- I need to make it really clear in the next chapter that Peridan does not know how old Susan is.  Guy knows, more or less, but he's made a point of forgetting.  The Colonel knows.  Susan has made a point of presenting herself as much older than she is.  This was set up (OMG, back in Chapter 5 of Part 1), and I've slid it in a couple more times since. 
Susan is at this point passing herself off as 19 and 20 and married besides and she did so from the moment she landed in America.  I've tried to build that up, but I'll come back to it..  "Mrs. Caspian" by the way is not secretly pining for King Caspian X.  Susan is channeling my off handed humor and gently poking at fandom convention and expectation.
