Uncle Andrew is rather angry with Digory's preoccupation about Polly, and this is the factor that precipitates the outburst in the quote. 26Īfter Uncle Andrew tricks Polly into touching a magical ring, and she disappears, Digory and Uncle Andrew begin to argue. Bless my soul, you'll be telling me next that I ought to have asked the guinea-pigs' permission before I used them! No great wisdom can be reached without sacrifice. I am the great scholar, the magician, the adept, who is doing the experiment. ![]()
