Just the same , both looked up . Just alighting in the top of a tall tree was Blacky the Crow . `` Caw , caw , caw , caw , '' he repeated , looking down at Peter and Mrs. Quack and Mr. Quack and the six young Quacks . `` I hope I am not interrupting any secret gossip . '' `` Not at all , '' Peter hastened to say . `` Mrs. Quack was just telling me of the troubles and clangers in bringing up a young family in the Far North . How did you know the Quacks had arrived ? '' Blacky chuckled hoarsely . `` I did n't , '' said he . `` I simply thought there might be something going on I did n't know about over here in the pond of Paddy the Beaver , so I came over to find out . Mr. Quack , you and Mrs. Quack are looking very fine this fall . And those handsome young Quacks , you do n't mean to tell me that they are your children ! '' Mrs. Quack nodded proudly . `` They are , '' said she . `` You do n't say so ! '' exclaimed Blacky , as if he were very much surprised , when all the time he was n't surprised at all . `` They are a credit to their parents . Yes , indeed , they are a credit to their parents . Never have I seen finer young Ducks in all my life . How glad the hunters with terrible guns will be to see them . ''
Mrs. XXXXX shivered at that , and Blacky saw it .
