They all congregated in the large room by mutual impulse. The market was supposed to open at noon, and all the peasant were readying the stalls, hanging the awnings and pyramiding their wares. Wine was sold in a corner. You could taste it beforehand. It was a local produce, sour and unpalatable, but it was cheap, and the surging feeling gotten from drinking it, was the same as from the expensive, better tasting imported stuff.
He felt rather than saw the light as the doors to the big room was opened. Standing in the back was good, being up front always brought with it the hazard of being overrun once the doors opened. He only risked not having the choicest wares, but he found this alternative way better.

  1. Wise decision. If he had been up the front and got the choicest wares BOTH of them might have been squished in the rush - and the choicest wares would have become second best.
