Toad
,
after
due
consultation
with
his
friends
,
selected
a
handsome
gold
chain
and
locket
set
with
pearls
,
which
he
dispatched
to
the
gaoler
's
daughter
,
with
a
letter
that
even
the
Badger
admitted
to
be
modest
,
grateful
,
and
appreciative
;
and
the
engine-driver
,
in
his
turn
,
was
properly
thanked
and
compensated
for
all
his
pains
and
trouble
.
Under
severe
compulsion
from
the
Badger
,
even
the
barge-woman
was
,
with
some
trouble
,
sought
out
and
the
value
of
her
horse
discreetly
made
good
to
her
;
though
Toad
kicked
terribly
at
this
,
holding
himself
to
be
an
instrument
of
Fate
,
sent
to
punish
fat
women
with
mottled
arms
who
could
n't
tell
a
real
gentleman
when
they
saw
one
.
The
amount
involved
,
it
was
true
,
was
not
very
burdensome
,
the
gipsy
's
valuation
being
admitted
by
local
assessors
to
be
approximately
correct
.
Sometimes
,
in
the
course
of
long
summer
evenings
,
the
friends
would
take
a
stroll
together
in
the
Wild
Wood
,
now
successfully
tamed
so
far
as
they
were
concerned
;
and
it
was
pleasing
to
see
how
respectfully
they
were
greeted
by
the
inhabitants
,
and
how
the
mother-weasels
would
bring
their
young
ones
to
the
mouths
of
their
holes
,
and
say
,
pointing
,
"
Look
,
baby
!
There
goes
the
great
Mr.
Toad
!
And
that
's
the
gallant
Water
Rat
,
a
terrible
fighter
,
walking
along
o
'
him
!
And
yonder
comes
the
famous
Mr
Mole
,
of
whom
you
so
often
have
heard
your
father
tell
!
"
But
when
their
infants
were
fractious
and
quite
beyond
control
,
they
would
quiet
them
by
telling
how
,
if
they
did
n't
hush
them
and
not
fret
them
,
the
terrible
grey
Badger
would
up
and
get
them
.
This
was
a
base
libel
on
Badger
,
who
,
though
he
cared
little
about
Society
,
was
rather
fond
of
children
;
but
it
never
failed
to
have
its
full
effect
.
