Toad
Hall
,
"
said
the
Toad
proudly
,
"
is
an
eligible
,
self-contained
gentleman
's
residence
,
very
unique
;
dating
in
part
from
the
fourteenth
century
,
but
replete
with
every
modern
convenience
.
Up-to-date
sanitation
.
Five
minutes
from
church
,
post-office
,
and
golf-links
.
Suitable

--
"
"
Bless
the
animal
,
"
said
the
girl
,
laughing
,
"
I
do
n't
want
to
take
it
.
Tell
me
something
real
about
it
.
But
first
wait
till
I
fetch
you
some
more
tea
and
toast
.
"
She
tripped
away
,
and
presently
returned
with
a
fresh
trayful
;
and
Toad
,
pitching
into
the
toast
with
avidity
,
his
spirits
quite
restored
to
their
usual
level
,
told
her
about
the
boat-house
,
and
the
fish-pond
,
and
the
old
walled
kitchen-garden
;
and
about
the
pig-styes
and
the
stables
,
and
the
pigeon-house
and
the
hen-house
;
and
about
the
dairy
,
and
the
wash-house
,
and
the
china-cupboards
,
and
the
linen-presses
(
she
liked
that
bit
especially
)
;
and
about
the
banqueting-hall
,
and
the
fun
they
had
there
when
the
other
animals
were
gathered
round
the
table
and
Toad
was
at
his
best
,
singing
songs
,
telling
stories
,
carrying
on
generally
.
Then
she
wanted
to
know
about
his
animal-friends
,
and
was
very
interested
in
all
he
had
to
tell
her
about
them
and
how
they
lived
,
and
what
they
did
to
pass
their
time
.
Of
course
,
she
did
not
say
she
was
fond
of
animals
as
pets
,
because
she
had
the
sense
to
see
that
Toad
would
be
extremely
offended
.
When
she
said
good-night
,
having
filled
his
water-jug
and
shaken
up
his
straw
for
him
,
Toad
was
very
much
the
same
sanguine
,
self-satisfied
animal
that
he
had
been
of
old
.
He
sang
a
little
song
or
two
,
of
the
sort
he
used
to
sing
at
his
dinner-parties
,
curled
himself
up
in
the
straw
,
and
had
an
excellent
night
's
rest
and
the
pleasantest
of
dreams
.
They
had
many
interesting
talks
together
,
after
that
,
as
the
dreary
days
went
on
;
and
the
gaoler
's
daughter
grew
very
sorry
for
Toad
,
and
thought
it
a
great
shame
that
a
poor
little
animal
should
be
locked
up
in
prison
for
what
seemed
to
her
a
very
trivial
offence
.
Toad
,
of
course
,
in
his
vanity
,
thought
that
her
interest
in
him
proceeded
from
a
growing
tenderness
;
and
he
could
not
help
half-regretting
that
the
social
gulf
between
them
was
so
very
wide
,
for
she
was
a
comely
lass
,
and
evidently
admired
him
very
much
.
One
morning
the
girl
was
very
thoughtful
,
and
answered
at
random
,
and
did
not
seem
to
Toad
to
be
paying
proper
attention
to
his
witty
sayings
and
sparkling
comments
.
"
Toad
,
"
she
said
presently
,
"
just
listen
,
please
.
I
have
an
aunt
who
is
a
washerwoman
.
"
"
There
,
there
,
"
said
Toad
,
graciously
and
affably
,
"
never
mind
;
think
no
more
about
it
.
I
have
several
aunts
who
ought
to
be
washerwomen
.
"
"
Do
be
quiet
a
minute
,
Toad
,
"
said
the
girl
.
"
You
talk
too
much
,
that
's
your
chief
fault
,
and
I
'm
trying
to
think
,
and
you
hurt
my
head
.
