“Oh, of cour,” said Hwin. “I expect he is in Anvard. Naturally we’d look in on him and say good-bye. But that’s on our way. And why shouldn’t we start at once? After all, I thought it was Narnia we all wao get to?”
“I suppo so,” said Aravis. She was beginning to wonder what exactly she would do whe there and was feeling a little lonely.
“Of cour, of cour,” said Bree hastily. “But there’s o rush things, if you know what I mean.”
“No, I don’t know what you mean,” said Hwin. “Why don’t you want to go?”
“M-m-m, broo-hoo,” muttered Bree. “Well, don’t you e, Ma’am — it’s an important occasion — returning to one’s try — entering society — the best society — it is so esntial to make a good impression — not perhaps looking quite ourlves, yet, eh?”
Hwin broke out into a hor-laugh. “It’s your tail, Bree！ I e it all now. You want to wait till your tail’s grown again！ And we don’t even know if tails are worn long in Narnia. Really, Bree, you’re as vain as that Tarkheena in Tashbaan！”

“You are silly, Bree,” said Aravis.
“By the Lion’s Maarkheena, I’m nothing of the sort,” said Bree indignantly. “I have a proper respeylf and for my fellow hors, that’s all.”
“Bree,” said Aravis, who was not very ied i of his tail, “I’ve been wanting to ask you something for a long time. Why do you keep on swearing By the Lion and By the Lion’s Mane? I thought you hated lions.”
