Do you think it was Amanda’s fault that Robin got away? Robin heard the calls when he was down by the ducks. Why do you think he didn’t answer?

Chapter Thirteen centers on the actions of Robin. Since Robin has been spending so much time with Georgie, he has gotten a lot more active and excited about life. He sees Rosita and asks her to take him to the feed the ducks. Rosita tells him to wait and has him go with Amanda. Amanda also tells Robin to wait for Georgie. Robin then finds Old Eddie, who tells him to wait for Georgie too. Amanda then tells Robin to wait by the gate that Georgie enters from. Robin goes to the gate but then walks past it. Soon, he finds himself near the pond where the ducks live. He holds out his hand the way Georgie showed him, but is then attacked by all of the ducks. They push him into the water and Robin drowns.

In my opinion, Amanda should not have left Georgie alone, she shouldn't have assumed he would wait. On the other hand, Robin understands her request and refuses to listen. Robin's excitement keeps him from answering the calls he hears... he was laughing and enthralled by his task.
