Lewis shows some actual wit in that one. In the end, the Head of the "progressive school," having been driven partly nuts by an appearence at the school by Aslan himself, is packed off by the board of directors to various other schools, where she continues to be a complete monster, and then finally is elected to Parliament, where she does fine. A pretty good ending, that, though I wouldn't doubt <i>The Naughtiest Girl</i> could come up with something even better. The Silver Chair is actually one of the better Narnia books, as C.S.
