The Bulgy Bears were very anxious to have the feast first and leave the council till afterwards； perhaps till tomorrow. Reepicheep and his Mice said that councils and feasts could both wait， and proposed storming Miraz in his own castle that very night. Pattertwig and the other Squirrels said theycould talk and eat at the same time， so why not have the council and feast all at once？ The Moles proposed throwing up entrenchments round the Lawn before they did anything else. The Fauns thought it would be better to begin with a solemn dance. The Old Raven， while agreeing with the Bears that it would take too long to have a full council before supper， begged to be allowed to give a brief address to the whole company. But Caspian and the Centaurs and the Dwarfs overruled all these suggestions and insisted on holding a real council of war at once.
