“NOW，”said Peter，as they finished their meal，“Aslan and the girls that’s Queen Susan and Queen Lucy，Caspian are somewhere close．We don’t know when he will act．In his time，no doubt，not ours．In the meantime he would like us to do what we can on our own．You say，Caspian，we are not strong enough to meet Miraz in pitched battle？”
“I’m afraid not，High King，”said Caspian．He was liking Peter very much，but was rather tongue-ied．It was much stranger for him to meet the great Kings out of the old stories than it was for them to meet him．
“Very well，then，”said Peter，“I’ll send him a challenge to single combat．”No one had thought of this before．
“Please，”said Caspian，“could it not be me？ I want to avenge my father．”
“You’re wounded，”said Peter．“And anyway，wouldn’t he just laugh at a challenge from you？ I mean，we have seen that you are a king and a warrior but he thinks of you as a kid．”
“But，Sire，”said the Badger，who sat very close to Peter and never took his eyes off him．“Will he accept a．challenge even from you？ He knows he has the stronger．army．”
“Very likely he won’t，”said Peter，“but there’s always the chance．And even if he doesn’t，we shall spend the best part of the day sending heralds to and fro and all that．By then Aslan may have done something．And at least I can inspect the army and strengthen the position．I will send the challenge．In fact I will write it at once．Have you pen and ink，Master Doctor？”
“A scholar is never without them，your Majesty，”answered Doctor Cornelius．
“Very well，I will dictate，”said Peter．And while the Doctor spread out a parchment and opened his ink-horn and sharpened his pen，Peter leant back with half-closed eyes and recalled to his mind the language in which he had written such things long ago in Narnia’s golden age．
“Right，”he said at last．“And now，if you are ready，Doctor？”
