Including Mother and Father, who didn't even know it existed. If he was so dead-set on collecting them all, couldn't he have waited for them to arrive in the natural way?" She's thinking about Edmund again, and how Lucy's description of Aslan's country seems as antithetical to his interests as it is to Susan's own.
