Ben was confused. Daddy said it was bad to lie. So did Miss Fleur at school, and Millie. "But...how come you can lie to bad people? Doesn't that make you bad too?" But if Faustus' dad had said it was okay, it probably was. The Bat Man was very smart.
"Peevesie likes little kids, he said so," Ben grinned. "He's really funny! He calls us Ickle Pickles. Us kids I mean."
Ben followed Faustus gaze and grinned. Narnia was great. "Me too! Maybe now that there's two of us, he'll come! I've never brought anyone else here 'afore. Last time I had Luc and Liam to stay, we went to Neverland, so we could fight Captain Hook."
