Summary

Ducklings are hatched to a mallard duck in the shrubbery by the wall in the Sculpture Garden. Secretary Ripley arranges for the NZP to provide a concrete duck shelter by the pool in the Sculpture Garden. The mother mallard and her nine ducklings remained there for several weeks, and then disappeared.
