Top answer

com : thicket n : a dense growth of bushes [syn: brush , brushwood , coppice , copse ] ----------------------------- Without knowing the context, my guess would be that "they" are conversing in a crowd, probably an excited crowd or at least a crowd where people are moving a lot. Maybe they are talking at a dance??
