“Keep it up, boys！”came Griffle’s voice.“All together.Carefully.We don’t want Darkies any more than we want Monkeys—or Lions—or Kings.The Dwarfs are for the Dwarfs.”
Whatever el you may say about Dwarfs, no one say they aren’t brave.They could easily have got away to some safe place.They preferred to stay and kill as many of both sides as they could, except when both sides were kind enough to save them trouble by killing one ahey wanted Narnia for their own.
