She plops in the water and turns around to watch them in. Then the gander follows and they swim around—first the mother, then the little ones, then the gander. They avoid populated places, and continually are looking at their little ones and bobbing their heads up and down—Andy says they are counting them. So they spend the days.

There, closely bundled together, they sleep for the night. Or maybe not at a of them do. Andy says he cen't prove it, but hell bet the old man never Sleeps. He's just that "fussy about the kids.
