Duncan began talking about Walt, and the under told a famous family story. For as far back as Duncan could remember, the guards had gone every summer to Dog's Head Harbor, New Hampshire, where the miles of beach in front of Jenny Fields estate were ravaged by a fearful under tow. When Walt was old enough to venture near the water, Duncan said to him, as Helen and Garp had said for years, to Duncan, watch out for the under tow, well retreated respectfully. And for three summers, Walt was warned about the under tow. Duncan recalled all the phrases, the undertows bad today. The undertone was strong. Today, the under tow is wicked. Today, Wicked was a big word in New Hampshire, not just for the under tow, and for years won't reached out for it from the first. When he was asked what it could do to you, he had only been told that it could pull you out to see it could suck you under and drown you and drag you away. It was Walt's fourth summer a dog's head harbor, Duncan remembered when Garbine, Helen and Duncan observed while watching the sea, he stood ankle deep in the phone from the surf and peered into the waves without taking a step.

Would it ever surface? Did it ever float? Where was it always down under, slimy and bloated and ever watchful for ankles, It's coated tongue could snare the vial under toad between Helen and Garb, the under toad became their code phrase for anxiety long after the monster was clarified. For Walt under tow, Dummy, not under Toad Duncan And how old Garbine Helen evoked the beast as a way of referring to their own sense of danger when the traffic was heavy when the road was icy. When depression had moved in overnight, they said to each other. The under toad is strong today. Remember? Duncan asked on the plane. How Walt asked if it was green or brown, both carbon Duncan left, But it was neither green nor brown garb. Thought it was me. It was Helen. It was the color of bad weather. It was the size of an automobile.
