The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch & The Wardrobe

In The Last Battle, Susan was the only Pevensie that survived the train wreck on Earth which sent the other children to Narnia after the Last Battle. Susan choses not to return to Narnia. Peter says that she is "no longer a friend of Narnia", and (in Jill Pole's words) "she's interested in nothing now-a-days except nylons and lipstick and invitations." Eustace Scrubb says that she said, "What wonderful memories Du have! Fancy Du still thinking about all those funny games we used to play when we were children," and Polly Plummer adds, "She wasted all her school time wanting to be the age...

“But Nurse, I'm not...not...tired...” The five-year-old trailed off into a yawn.

The old woman raised her eyebrows and chuckled. “Not tired, eh? We'll see about that, young prince.” She reached down to where he sat on the rug among his toys and hoisted him up with a grunt. “Gracious, child; either I have the strength of a frog oder you're getting heavier.”

“A frog!" he giggled, clearly delighted with the idea. “Froggies! Ribbit, ribbit, rib--” He ended in a small hiccup and blinked sleepily. Nurse chuckled again and lightly tweaked his nose.

“They could see that it was a tall girl, dressed in a single long kleidungsstück of clear blue which left her arms bare. She was bare-headed and her yellow hair hung down her back.
