The good effects of the water lasted us about a day.

Off and on I could see water plain as could be in every hollow, and game of all kinds standing around and looking at me.
I knew these were all fakes.

By making an effort I could swing things around to where they belonged.

I used to do that every once in a while, just to be sure we weren't doubling back, and to look out for real water.
