Thought: how did Jill and Eustace express their newfound religion in a school that discouraged it?
--
Sabbath-
Experiment House rules do not allow them to attend Church on Sundays; determined souls that they are, this will not keep them from religion. Eustace has a Bible, a gloriously simple thing that was gift from his eldest cousin. He gathers it and her every Sabbath day and they read it together in front of The Door.
They decide it's better than Church, which is solemn and heavy. Their Sundays are spent lying in the grass with the sun on their faces, passing the well-loved book between them. Here, they parallel 'Heaven' with 'Aslan's Country' and speak the prayers of two different worlds. They make a little patch of ground at once sacred and sentimental. They are bound together in God and friendship and an extraordinary adventure.
It's much better than Church.
