Quote #7
They all stood looking at each other with bright eyes. It was a sickening moment. "All right!" said Jill suddenly. "Let's get it over. Good-bye, everyone… !" They all shook hands. The Knight was screaming by now; there was foam on his cheeks. (11.167)
This scene is very nearly comical, except that the children really are saying final farewells to each other, just in case they die in battle. Perhaps they don't understand how serious things are, but we'd like to think that they are showing a great deal of dignity and bravery at this moment.
Quote #8
"But you can play that fiddle till your fingers drop off, and still you won't make me forget Narnia; and the whole Overworld too. We'll never see it again, I shouldn't wonder […] But I know I was there once." (12.176)
Puddleglum, who is a fairly pessimistic fellow, is actually giving a pretty realistic assessment of their situation. The wicked Queen of Underland has enchanted them and nearly convinced them that nothing else exists but her dreary realms. But Puddleglum stands up to her magic, faces up to the real possibility that they won't make it out alive, and takes a stand for his beliefs.
Quote #9
Then he did a very brave thing. He knew it wouldn't hurt him quite as much as it would hurt a human […] But he knew it would hurt him badly enough; and so it did. With his bare foot he stamped on the fire, grinding a large part of it into ashes on the flat hearth. (12.141)
Puddleglum has been a stand-up guy from the beginning, but he shows his true courage when he faces the Queen of Underland. In this case, he's also showing strength of mind as he fights against her enchantments and sacrifices his safety to put an end to them. Note how Lewis is careful to tell us that although Puddleglum's feet are naturally tougher than humans', it still hurt him to stand on the fire. That's bravery right there.
