O
Ratty
!
You
ca
n't
think
how
obliged
I
am
to
you
for
consenting
to
come
on
this
trip
!
I
would
n't
have
gone
without
you
,
and
then
I
might
never
have
seen
that
--
that
swan
,
that
sunbeam
,
that
thunderbolt
!
I
might
never
have
heard
that
entrancing
sound
,
or
smelt
that
bewitching
smell
!
I
owe
it
all
to
you
,
my
best
of
friends
!

The
Rat
turned
from
him
in
despair
.
"
You
see
what
it
is
?
"
he
said
to
the
Mole
,
addressing
him
across
Toad
's
head
:
"
He
's
quite
hopeless
.
I
give
it
up
--
when
we
get
to
the
town
we
'll
go
to
the
railway
station
,
and
with
luck
we
may
pick
up
a
train
there
that
'll
get
us
back
to
river
bank
to-night
.
And
if
ever
you
catch
me
going
a-pleasuring
with
this
provoking
animal
again
!
"
--
He
snorted
,
and
during
the
rest
of
that
weary
trudge
addressed
his
remarks
exclusively
to
Mole
.
203
On
reaching
the
town
they
went
straight
to
the
station
and
deposited
Toad
in
the
second-class
waiting-room
,
giving
a
porter
twopence
to
keep
a
strict
eye
on
him
.
They
then
left
the
horse
at
an
inn
stable
,
and
gave
what
directions
they
could
about
the
cart
and
its
contents
.
Eventually
,
a
slow
train
having
landed
them
at
a
station
not
very
far
from
Toad
Hall
,
they
escorted
the
spellbound
,
sleep-walking
Toad
to
his
door
,
put
him
inside
it
,
and
instructed
his
housekeeper
to
feed
him
,
undress
him
,
and
put
him
to
bed
.
Then
they
got
out
their
boat
from
the
boat-house
,
sculled
down
the
river
home
,
and
at
a
very
late
hour
sat
down
to
supper
in
their
own
cosy
riverside
parlour
,
to
the
Rat
's
great
joy
and
contentment

The
following
evening
the
Mole
,
who
had
risen
late
and
taken
things
very
easy
all
day
,
was
sitting
on
the
bank
fishing
,
when
the
Rat
,
who
had
been
looking
up
his
friends
and
gossiping
,
came
strolling
along
to
find
him
.
"
Heard
the
news
?
"
he
said
.
"
There
's
nothing
else
being
talked
about
,
all
along
the
river
bank
.
Toad
went
up
to
Town
by
an
early
train
this
morning
.
And
he
has
ordered
a
large
and
very
expensive
motor-car
.

THE
Mole
had
long
wanted
to
make
the
acquaintance
of
the
Badger
.
He
seemed
,
by
all
accounts
,
to
be
such
an
important
personage
and
,
though
rarely
visible
,
to
make
his
unseen
influence
felt
by
everybody
about
the
place
.
But
whenever
the
Mole
mentioned
his
wish
to
the
Water
Rat
,
he
always
found
himself
put
off
.
"
It
's
all
right
,
"
the
Rat
would
say
.
"
Badger
'll
turn
up
some
day
or
other
--
he
's
always
turning
up
--
and
then
I
'll
introduce
you
.
The
best
of
fellows
!
But
you
must
not
only
take
him
as
you
find
him
,
but
when
you
find
him
.
"
206
"
Could
n't
you
ask
him
here
--
dinner
or
something
?
"
said
the
Mole
.
207
"
He
would
n't
come
,
"
replied
the
Rat
simply
.
"
Badger
hates
Society
,
and
invitations
,
and
dinner
,
and
all
that
sort
of
thing
.

"
Well
,
then
,
supposing
we
go
and
call
on
him
?
"
suggested
the
Mole
.
209
"
O
,
I
'm
sure
he
would
n't
like
that
at
all
,
"
said
the
Rat
,
quite
alarmed
.
"
He
's
so
very
shy
,
he
'd
be
sure
to
be
offended
.
I
've
never
even
ventured
to
call
on
him
at
his
own
home
myself
,
though
I
know
him
so
well
.
Besides
,
we
ca
n't
.
It
's
quite
out
of
the
question
,
because
he
lives
in
the
very
middle
of
the
Wild
Wood
.
"

"
Well
,
supposing
he
does
,
"
said
the
Mole
.
"
You
told
me
the
Wild
Wood
was
all
right
,
you
know
.
"
