Oh, and one other point which I meant to put in my review (and all of today's other LJ postings). I know I've asked about this before, but I've lost my sense of your timelines again. I know you've compacted some things up (like the VoDT and TSC visits). I'm now struggling in finding context for the conversation between Peter and Mrs P. She's obviously been noticing "Things" for a while, and been keeping her mouth shut, but I can't quite work out how long a time this is.

The discussion with Peter has the feel of a fairly well entrenched mindset, so now I'm curious about how long it's been since their return from Narnia (canon would say about 3 years, I think), how long since they returned home from the Professor's country home, and what length of time it was before everyone got packed off again, as per VoDT.
