“We‘ll settle that tomorrow， Ma’am，” said Bree. “Time for a little sleep now.”
But it wasn‘t easy to settle. Aravis’s first suggestion was that they should swim across the river below the city during the night and not go into Tashbaan at all. But Bree had two reasons against this. One was that the river.mouth was very wide and it would be far too long a swim for Hwin to do， especially with a rider on her back. （He thought it would be too long for himself too， but he said much less about that）. The other was that it would be full of shipping and of course anyone on the deck of a ship who saw two horses swimming past would be almost certain to be inquisitive.
Shasta thought they should go up the river above Tashbaan and cross it where it was narrower. But Bree explained that there were gardens and pleasure houses on both banks of the river for miles and that there would be Tarkaans and Tarkheenas living in them and riding about the roads and having water parties on the river. In fact it would be the most likely place in the world for meeting someone who would recognize Aravis or even himself.
“We‘ll have to have a disguise，” said Shasta.
