The policemen were really close now. With the help of the new horsepower M could now move more quickly, but he chose the least expected route – the stairs in the narrowest path in the whole city. And he was on the horse! Not so clever. The horse could not even pass the entrance to the stairs, at least the horse did not want to go down. And now the police was just behind M so he was obliged to make a jump over the head of the horse.
Actually. the stairs have been named after the horse who was known as Mårten and the second part of the name means that he refused to go there. A good thing though was that the horse blocked the path for the policemen so M achieved some extra time.
