    The duck didn't really like to be hugged.
    "Is this your duck?" asked the queen.
    "He's positively delightful!"

    It took about twenty minutes.
    "What a wonderful story," said the queen."You must stay here for the week. I insist!"
    Dodsworth and the duck were speechless.

    The Royal Duck showed them to their room.
    It was the most magnificent room they had ever seen.
    "Enjoy your stay," he said.
    "We can't thank you enough," said Dodsworth.

    The thick fog rolled in again.
    "I'm just happy you're okay," said Dodsworth.
    "Who said that?" said the duck.
    Dodsworth laughed and hugged the duck again.
    And this time, as the night fell on London, the duck actually hugged him back.
