In any case, the number of real, living children doesn't matter. The
marshal can choose to have four, five, a dozen, or even skip the
encounter with the children and the infiltraitor altogether.  I
personally like the idea with saddling the posse with at least 2 dozen
kids myself.  But then I always was a bit of a sadist when it came to
running a game.  (Ask me about the portable hole incident sometime)  ;)
