“Look！” said Edmund sharply. They were actually within the pillars now and standing on the pavement. Everyone looked where Edmund had pointed. The chairs were not all empty. At the head of the table and in the two places beside it there was something.or possibly three somethings.
“What are those？” asked Lucy in a whisper. “It looks like three beavers sitting on the table.”
“Or a huge bird‘s nest，” said Edmund.
“It looks more like a haystack to me，” said Caspian.
Reepicheep ran forward， jumped on a chair and thence on to the table， and ran along it， threading his way as nimbly as a dancer between jewelled cups and pyramids of fruit and ivory salt.cellars. He ran right up to the mysterious grey mass at the end： peered， touched， and then called out：
“These will not fight， I think.”
