27 who believe in God. When the children ask them to hurry because the Secret
Police are chasing them, Mrs. Beaver is still calm down and prepares everything that they will need in their escaping. Even she asks her husband and the children
to help her in preparing their needs because she believes that the Secret Police or Jadis is still far away and they will not arrest them. They still have time to do
some preparations: “What are you doing, Mrs. Beaver?” exclaimed
Susan. “Packing a load for each of us, dearie,” said Mrs.
Beaver very coolly. “You didnt think wed set out on a journey with
nothing to eat, did you?” “But we havent time” said Susan, buttoning the
collar of her coat. “She may be here any minute.”
“Thats what I say,” chimed in Mr. Beaver. “Get along with you all,” said his wife. “Think it
over, Mr. Beaver. She cant be here for quarter of an hour at least.”
“But dont we want as big a start as we can possibly get,” said Peter, “if were to reach the Stone Table
before her?” “Youve got to remember that, Mrs. Beaver,” said
Susan. “As soon as she has looked in here and finds were gone shell be off at top speed.”
“That she will,” said Mrs. Beaver. “But we cant get there before her whatever we do, for shell be on a
sledge and well be walking.” “Then—have we no hope?” said Susan.
“Now dont you get fussing, theres a dear,” said Mrs. Beaver, “but just get half a dozen clean
handkerchiefs out of the drawer. Course weve got a hope. We cant get there before her but we can keep
under cover and go by ways she wont expect and perhaps well get through.”
“Thats true enough, Mrs. Beaver,” said her husband. “But its time we were out of this.”
“And dont you start fussing either, Mr. Beaver,” said his wife. “There. Thats better. Theres five loads and
the smallest for the smallest of us: thats you, my dear,” she added, looking at Lucy. p. 52-53

28 In the hectic time and it seems that there is no hope for them, only Mrs.
Beaver who stands still in believing that there is always be a hope for them. She believes that Aslan will send helps for them without known by them. Mrs.
Beaver’s belief is the representation of the faith of Jesus’ disciples and whoever that believe in Jesus. Jesus’ disciples have mission in leading human beings into
God’s kingdom by showing them the way to get there. They teach the others about lessons, advices and examples that has been given to them by Jesus. Mr.
and Mrs. Beaver also do the same when they are leading the children to the place where Aslan gather all of Narnians who are still believe in him. Mr. and Mrs.
Beaver keep the children from danger. They lead the children through the safest way so that they can meet Aslan.
