A war story of sentimental mold, slight but well done. An ugly misshapen painter has healed an injured snow goose brought to him by a shy girl of the marshes. Each season the goose returns, each season their friendship ripens. Finally, the goose accompanies the painter to Dunkirk, where, with a selling vessel holding seven men, he does his part in the evacuation. The goose becomes a legend of safe escape - and when he returns to the marshes, he is proof to the girl that her painter is dead.
This haunting tale is one of three stories in this collection, the others are The Doll and The Silver Swans.
