Chapter VII
15. Red
There are several different shades of red. Peter very firmly makes a distinction between them all:
Scarlet is the color of their tabards and the Lion Rampant on their shields.
Cherry is Lucy's cheeks in the spring, when she has spent all day playing with the wind.
Carmine is the dress Susan wears to the Christmas banquet, which flatters her curves and stands out boldly against her dark hair and creamy skin.
Scarlet means Aslan, and, very often, victory. Cherry means joy, and carmine, beauty.
But there is another color red—a dreaded, heart-stopping kind of red—and that is crimson. Crimson is Edmund's blood splashed across the battlefield's grass-carpeted floor.
