And so we learn that the little blonde girl is really named Cindy. (Good for her. She's only been in this story for about as long as the story has been taking place.) She even has a cat, which could be a problem if Sassy is the sort of dog that runs after cats, which I suppose means that it's a good thing that we haven't seen Sassy since Mark got back. (After all, someone has to guard the camp.) Besides the name of the little blonde girl, we also learn that Mark isn't much of a cook. I guess that could be right. Or not. We really haven't seen him do much cooking and as far as I know, they haven't really caught too many fish, so maybe Rusty's opinion is based on the fact that he had to eat a breakfast of dried fruit and oatmeal (which he isn't too big a fan of).
Putting the bland pleasantries and greetings aside, it's time for a good old fashioned swamp meal of coffee, mashed potatoes, and chicken nuggets (or small sweet potatoes or some potatoes au gratin or orange peeps, I'm just not sure). Yum. As they eat, Bob starts trying to find out just what Mark is doing in the swamp and Mark may have inadvertently just supplied the poachers with their next target for a beaning. (Oh well, at least there's plenty of coffee and chicken nuggets to go around.)
Dinner finished, Rusty disappears to probably watch some television with Cindy while Mark and Bob have a little chat. It's then that Mark learns of Bob's lost job at the mill and his optimism that everything will work out in the end. (He also tries to clarify his earlier statement about getting food from the swamp by clearly stating that it's the fish and not the alligators they use for food. No, certainly not the alligators. Never the alligators...maybe.) Meanwhile, Terrence the Turtle continues his slow progress towards the Court of the Animal Kingdom, pausing briefly to speak to a frog to learn anything else that may be of importance. I'm not sure I'd trust the frog after seeing what the relationship is between the frogs and the alligators, but with all of the time Terrence will have to think about the information before he reaches his destination, I'm sure he'll have it all figured out.
