[Closed] Question about an idiom

I know this is seemingly random, but I need the infomation for an upcoming sermon (of all things).

Does C.S. Lewis ever have one of the characters called either "a good fig" or "a bad fig" in the Chronicles?

If so, who, when, and where?

If not, do you remember such a quote from any of his other works?

Thanks! in advance.

Hm. I don't think so. Edmund calls his siblings prigs in The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, but I don't think fig is ever used. I don't remember that phrase being in any of his other works that I have read (Till We Have Faces, the Space Trilogy, Screwtape Letters, and The Great Divorce), but I can't say about the other ones. Hope that helps!

No, not in the Chronicles.

Best wishes with the sermon!

There, shining in the sunrise, larger than they had seen him before, shaking his mane (for it had apparently grown again) stood Aslan himself.
"...when a willing victim who had committed no treachery was killed in a traitor's stead, the Table would crack and Death itself would start working backwards."
