The
following
morning
,
Toad
,
who
had
overslept
himself
as
usual
,
came
down
to
breakfast
disgracefully
late
,
and
found
on
the
table
a
certain
quantity
of
egg-shells
,
some
fragments
of
cold
and
leathery
toast
,
a
coffee-pot
three-fourths
empty
,
and
really
very
little
else
;
which
did
not
tend
to
improve
his
temper
,
considering
that
,
after
all
,
it
was
his
own
house
.
Through
the
French
windows
of
the
breakfast-room
he
could
see
the
Mole
and
the
Water
Rat
sitting
in
wicker
chairs
out
on
the
lawn
,
evidently
telling
each
other
stories
;
roaring
with
laughter
and
kicking
their
short
legs
up
in
the
air
.
The
Badger
,
who
was
in
an
arm-chair
and
deep
in
the
morning
paper
,
merely
looked
up
and
nodded
when
Toad
entered
the
room
.
But
Toad
knew
his
man
,
so
he
sat
down
and
made
the
best
breakfast
he
could
,
merely
observing
to
himself
that
he
would
get
square
with
the
others
sooner
or
later
.
When
he
had
nearly
finished
,
the
Badger
looked
up
and
remarked
rather
shortly
:
"
I
'm
sorry
,
Toad
,
but
I
'm
afraid
there
's
a
heavy
morning
's
work
in
front
of
you
.
You
see
,
we
really
ought
to
have
a
Banquet
at
once
,
to
celebrate
this
affair
.
It
's
expected
of
you
--
in
fact
,
it
's
the
rule
.
"
"
O
,
all
right
!
"
said
the
Toad
,
readily
.
"
Anything
to
oblige
.
Though
why
on
earth
you
should
want
to
have
a
Banquet
in
the
morning
I
can
not
understand
.
But
you
know
I
do
not
live
to
please
myself
,
but
merely
to
find
out
what
my
friends
want
,
and
then
try
and
arrange
it
for
'em
,
you
dear
old
Badger
!
"
"
Do
n't
pretend
to
be
stupider
than
you
really
are
,
"
replied
the
Badger
,
crossly
;
"
and
do
n't
chuckle
and
splutter
in
your
coffee
while
you
're
talking
;
it
's
not
manners
.
What
I
mean
is
,
the
Banquet
will
be
at
night
,
of
course
,
but
the
invitations
will
have
to
be
written
and
got
off
at
once
,
and
you
've
got
to
write
'em
.
Now
sit
down
at
that
table
--
there
's
stacks
of
letter-paper
on
it
,
with
'
Toad
Hall
'
at
the
top
in
blue
and
gold
--
and
write
invitations
to
all
our
friends
,
and
if
you
stick
to
it
we
shall
get
them
out
before
luncheon
.
And
I
'll
bear
a
hand
,
too
,
and
take
my
share
of
the
burden
.
I
'll
order
the
Banquet
.
"
"
What
!
"
cried
Toad
,
dismayed
.
"
Me
stop
indoors
and
write
a
lot
of
rotten
letters
on
a
jolly
morning
like
this
,
when
I
want
to
go
around
my
property
and
set
everything
and
everybody
to
rights
,
and
swagger
about
and
enjoy
myself
!
Certainly
not
!
I
'll
be
--
I
'll
see
you
--
Stop
a
minute
,
though
!
Why
,
of
course
,
dear
Badger
!
What
is
my
pleasure
or
convenience
compared
with
that
of
others
!
You
wish
it
done
,
and
it
shall
be
done
.
Go
,
Badger
,
order
the
Banquet
,
order
what
you
like
;
then
join
our
young
friends
outside
in
their
innocent
mirth
,
oblivious
of
me
and
my
cares
and
toils
.
I
sacrifice
this
fair
morning
on
the
altar
of
duty
and
friendship
!
"
The
Badger
looked
at
him
very
suspiciously
,
but
Toad
's
frank
,
open
countenance
made
it
difficult
to
suggest
any
unworthy
motive
in
this
change
of
attitude
.
He
quitted
the
room
,
accordingly
,
in
the
direction
of
the
kitchen
,
and
as
soon
as
the
door
had
closed
behind
him
,
Toad
hurried
to
the
writing-table
.
A
fine
idea
had
occurred
to
him
while
he
was
talking
.
He
would
write
the
invitations
;
and
he
would
take
care
to
mention
the
leading
part
he
had
taken
in
the
fight
,
and
how
he
had
laid
the
Chief
Weasel
flat
;
and
he
would
hint
at
his
adventures
,
and
what
a
career
of
triumph
he
had
to
tell
about
;
and
on
the
fly-leaf
he
would
set
out
a
sort
of
a
programme
of
entertainment
for
the
evening
--
something
like
this
,
as
he
sketched
it
out
in
his
head
:
--
Speech
(
There
will
be
other
speeches
by
Toad
during
the
evening
.
)
By
Toad
.
