![]() The duck threw the dart.Once again, chaos ensues and they leave. ![]() They go into a pub near Picadilly Circus, where there are darts: While floating in to London, the duck sees Buckingham Palace and declares his intention to stay there. There's much exasperation, and a hasty exit from Paris in a hot air balloon. In Paris, the duck acquires an acorn-shell beret and tries unsuccessfully to become a street performer (while dancing unintentionally on a painting by Dodsworth). A fox? A weasel? Muskrat? The predominant other species appear to be pigs, cows and hippos. I'm not quite sure what kind of animal Dodsworth is. As the curtain comes down on book one, they're on their way to France. Finally, he finds a woman feeding bread to some ducks, but "Only one duck was throwing bread back at the lady." The duck once again outruns Dodsworth and jumps on the Paris-bound ship. He buys the duck a train ticket back home, but the duck takes off, and Dodsworth spends a day looking for him in some of the major sights of New York, a la Madeline's wanderings through Paris. ![]() This is discovered on the train to New York, where Dodsworth has booked ship passage to Paris. ![]() Breakfast at Hodges' cafe (pancakes) leads to Hodges' misbehaving duck (many pancakes end up in air and on ground) stowing away in Dodsworth's luggage. ![]()
