I couldn't have done this on my own

As the comments are indicating (and just going to show that I can never predict what will resonate with a reader), the Tarot Card readings with Agnes have been remarked upon as being a favorite part of this chapter.

The choice of cards was all the doing of [livejournal.com profile] anastigmatfic .  I told her what I wanted -- I need a card for a mentor, I need a card to describe Tebbitt as an intelligence operative, I need cards to show lovers but no love, I need cards for Peter, Edmund and Lucy, and she found them all.  She was very impassioned on the subject of the Knight of Pentacles for Peter as portrayed in TSG Part 1, and when Agnes speaks, it is anastigmat's thoughts and analysis you read.

In answer to the question and assumption, I said that I was looking for a card for Asim, to represent for Susan, the guide to come, the Light on Dark Paths.  She came up with the brilliant Chariot and Hierophant.  The idea of a man of divinity who has harnessed both light and dark in the direction he wishes them to go was all hers. 

For Lambert, I wrote out dialogue of the one who waits for Susan and again I received the lovely resting Knight of the Four of Swords and Temperance cards. 


So, need to be sure that credit goes where credit is due!!
