[Just at this time, two white geese come walking over the top of the hill. Named Amelia and Abigail, they are sisters on holiday from England]
What beautiful countryside.
Yes. So much like our own darling England. [She glances toward the river] I say, look over there. [Her sister's eyes widen. Thomas O'Malley, trying to save himself, is clutching a willow branch that is overhanging the river] Fancy that...a cat learning to swim. He's going about it all the wrong road.
We must correct him. [She always exists that everything be done in the correct manner]
[The two geese waddle down the bank and slip into the river]
Sir...sir! You are most fortunate we happened along. We're here to help you. You will never learn to swim properly with that willow branch in your mouth. [She bites into Thomas O'Malley's lifeline] Snip, snip. Here we go!
Thomas O'Malley: Don't do that! Blub! [He sinks]
Oh, he takes to water like a fish, doesn't he? A very enthusiastic…
[Thomas O'Malley tries to catch them by the tail-feathers. They laugh]
No, thank you! This is no time for fun and games!
[Bubbles begin to form on the surface of the water. The geese look worried]
Gracious, Amelia....you don't suppose....?
Oh yes! Yes I do. Bottoms up!
[They dive, and emerge without Thomas O'Malley]
Deeper!
[They dive to the bottom of the riverbed]
