Quote #7
"I shall ride forth in arms, fall suddenly on our enemies, slay their chief man, cast down their strong places, and doubtless be their crowned king within four and twenty hours." (11.157)
Rilian, who is still enchanted at this point, seems to be making light of murder here. Jill is immediately disgusted and tells him he will be an awful tyrant. Rilian had not considered before that his overthrow and murder of a rightful sovereign would be considered a bad thing. Enchantment is funny like that.
Quote #8
"You see, Aslan didn't tell Pole what would happen. He only told her what to do. That fellow will be the death of us once he's up, I shouldn't wonder. But that doesn't let us off following the sign." (11.167)
Aslan does, in fact, tell Jill Pole that she is to search for the lost prince until she finds him, dies in the attempt, or is sent back home. It's a bleak-sounding truth, but beyond the fear of mortality, there is the consolation of doing one's duty. And that is something that Puddleglum won't let them forget.
Quote #9
"All these years I have been the slave of my mother's slayer. Yet I am glad, gentlemen, that the foul Witch took to her serpent form at the last. It would not have suited well either with my heart or with my honor to have slain a woman." (12.185)
Rilian has awakened from his enchantment and finally vanquished his mother's killer, the witch Queen of Underland. He's glad to have killed her snake form, rather than the female one, which seems a little odd on account of how she was a murderous witch and all.
