“You don’t say so！” answered the Hedgehog. “Well， think of that. And they do say that Calormen is hundreds and thousands of miles away， right at the world‘s end， across a great sea of sand.”
“It’s not nearly as far as you think，” said Shasta. “And oughtn‘t something to be done about this attack on Anvard？ Oughtn’t your High King to be told？”
“Certain sure， something ought to be done about it，” said the Hedgehog. “But you see I‘m just on my way to bed for a good day’s sleep. Hullo， neighbour！”
The last words were addressed to an immense biscuit. coloured rabbit whose head had just popped up fromsomewhere beside the path. The Hedgehog immediately told the Rabbit what it had just learned from Shasta. The Rabbit agreed that this was very remarkable news and that somebody ought to tell someone about it with a view to doing something.
