No, not that, not 'deep heaven'
Hmm. I may have to back off on that. That might be a possible reading of its use in the Space Trilogy. I'll tell you what, [limegreen]tinidril[/limegreen]: I'll give this to you, and I'll give you a bonus point if you can also tell where I was first thinking the reference to the Third Heaven meant.

The home of Maledil? Or perhaps I'm thinking backward... the atmosphere of Earth might be the answer... As I said, I am unable to find my copy of Out of the Silent Planet right now, so I'm just guessing...

That's okay. As I said, you get this one. And we await your question!

How did the Lone Islands come to be under Narnian rule?

King Gale, the ninth in descent from Frank (the very first king of Narnia), sailed on the eastern seas and saved the Lone Islanders from a dragon. They gratefully gave their islands as royal lands to Narnia for ever.
[Concerning the question about the third heaven: It is mentioned when Perelandra enters the Blue Room, and again when Camilla and Dimble are discussing where Ransom had been and where he will be going. I was thinking the passages meant it was specifically Perelandra, but I realize that may not be a necessary interpretation of what is said.]

Your turn, Tegid!
Silly me, I was thinking the "thrid heaven" was mentioned in the first book in Ransom's discussions with the inhabitants of Malacandra. I think "Third Heaven" is referring to that which is beyond the moon's orbit.

Just before Shasta yelled at the lion to go home, the chase culminated with the lion doing something terrible. Why did the lion do it?

So Aravis would know, tear-for-tear, how her mother's servant felt when she was punished for allowing Aravis to run away (Aravis had drugged her).

According to Filostrato, what three things most offend the dignity of man?

This proponent of deadly Hygiene believed that birth, breeding, and death were what stood in the way of perfect purity, and his goal was a pure race of men that could live without any of these three things.

How did there come to be a lamppost in Lantern Waste?

on the day Narnia was created, Digory and Polly brought back a woman from Narn, her name was Jadis. Before they got to the world that would be Narnia, they were in Britain and there was a scuffle in which Jadis broke off a light from a lamppost in a fight. Thus armed, she entered Narnia with Digory, Polly and Uncle Andrew (along with the cabby and his horse Strawberry). When Aslan was singing Narnia into creation (by roars of course) Jadis threw the bar at his head, but it didn't stop him. Instead the bar landed in the earth and grew, like everything else that day.

And that pretty much covers it! Your turn, debinoxford!
