Mr Beaver at the end of the chapter makes some realizations about Edmund. What does Mr Beaver see? What does Mr Beaver know or believe? What does Mr Beaver care about?
Mr. Beaver tells them that Edmund has most likely gone to the White Witch with the news about Aslan and their meeting at the Stone Table: "He has betrayed us all." Mr. Beaver asks whether Edmund has been in Narnia before, and Lucy whispers that he has. Mr. Beaver says that the look in Edmund's eyes suggested that he had eaten the food of the White Witch. They can't go after him now; the key is to reach Aslan. They determine that Edmund was still present during the discussion about the meeting at the Stone Table, and feel certain that the White Witch will try to catch them this very night. Mr. Beaver tells the children that they must prepare to depart, and quickly.
