In Prince Caspian I found a laugh out loud line. I know the quote is a little long, but the stuff at the beginning is to put the quote into context. Enjoy!
"I know," said Peter. "The one that joins the big river at the Fords of Beruna, or Beruna's Bridge, as the DLF calls it."
"That's right. Cross it and strike uphill, and we'll be at the Stone Table (Aslan's How, I mean) by eight or nine o'clock. I hope King Caspian will give us a good breakfast!"
"I hope you're right," said Susan, "I can't remember all that at all."
"That's the worst of girls," said Edmund to Peter and the Dwarf. "They never carry a map in their heads."
"That's because our heads have something inside them," said Lucy.

Ah, yes! Lewis was a feminist at heart...the very act of choosing Lucy, a female protagonist, shows that he was at least beginning to reconsider the validity of the patriarchal system! Well, maybe not..come to think of it, the villian and pseudo-satan figure in the lion, the witch and the wardrobe was also female (and displayed unnatural masculine and domineering characteristics). It is an interesting subject to think on though, considering the opinions he puts forth in the four loves and some of his other works...
