Shasta tried to get out of the way and to make Bree go back. But no horse， not even a Talking Horse from Narnia， backs easily. And a woman with a very edgy basket in her hands， who was just behind Shasta， pushed the basket hard against his shoulders， and said， “Now then！ Who are you shoving！” And then someone else jostled him from the side and in the confusion of the moment he lost hold of Bree. And then the whole crowd behind him became so stiffened and packed tight that he couldn‘t move at all. So he found himself， unintentionally， in the first row and had a fine sight of the party that was coming down the street.
