His
back
ached
badly
,
and
he
noticed
with
dismay
that
his
paws
were
beginning
to
get
all
crinkly
.
Now
Toad
was
very
proud
of
his
paws
.
He
muttered
under
his
breath
words
that
should
never
pass
the
lips
of
either
washerwomen
or
Toads
;
and
lost
the
soap
,
for
the
fiftieth
time
.
A
burst
of
laughter
made
him
straighten
himself
and
look
round
.
The
barge-woman
was
leaning
back
and
laughing
unrestrainedly
,
till
the
tears
ran
down
her
cheeks
.
"
I
've
been
watching
you
all
the
time
,
"
she
gasped
.
"
I
thought
you
must
be
a
humbug
all
along
,
from
the
conceited
way
you
talked
.
Pretty
washerwoman
you
are
!
Never
washed
so
much
as
a
dish-clout
in
your
life
,
I
'll
lay
!
"
Toad
's
temper
,
which
had
been
simmering
viciously
for
some
time
,
now
fairly
boiled
over
,
and
he
lost
all
control
of
himself
.
"
You
common
,
low
,
fat
barge-woman
!
"
he
shouted
;
"
do
n't
you
dare
to
talk
to
your
betters
like
that
!
Washerwoman
indeed
!
I
would
have
you
to
know
that
I
am
a
Toad
,
a
very
well-known
,
respected
,
distinguished
Toad
!
I
may
be
under
a
bit
of
a
cloud
at
present
,
but
I
will
not
be
laughed
at
by
a
barge-woman
!
"
The
woman
moved
nearer
to
him
and
peered
under
his
bonnet
keenly
and
closely
.
"
Why
,
so
you
are
!
"
she
cried
.
"
Well
,
I
never
!
A
horrid
,
nasty
,
crawly
Toad
!
And
in
my
nice
clean
barge
,
too
!
Now
that
is
a
thing
that
I
will
not
have
.
"
She
relinquished
the
tiller
for
a
moment
.
One
big
,
mottled
arm
shot
out
and
caught
Toad
by
a
fore-leg
,
while
the
other
gripped
him
fast
by
a
hind-leg
.
Then
the
world
turned
suddenly
upside
down
,
the
barge
seemed
to
flit
lightly
across
the
sky
,
the
wind
whistled
in
his
ears
,
and
Toad
found
himself
flying
through
the
air
,
revolving
rapidly
as
he
went
.
The
water
,
when
he
eventually
reached
it
with
a
loud
splash
,
proved
quite
cold
enough
for
his
taste
,
though
its
chill
was
not
sufficient
to
quell
his
proud
spirit
,
or
slake
the
heat
of
his
furious
temper
.
He
rose
to
the
surface
spluttering
,
and
when
he
had
wiped
the
duck-weed
out
of
his
eyes
the
first
thing
he
saw
was
the
fat
barge-woman
looking
back
at
him
over
the
stern
of
the
retreating
barge
and
laughing
;
and
he
vowed
,
as
he
coughed
and
choked
,
to
be
even
with
her
.
He
struck
out
for
the
shore
,
but
the
cotton
gown
greatly
impeded
his
efforts
,
and
when
at
length
he
touched
land
he
found
it
hard
to
climb
up
the
steep
bank
unassisted
.
He
had
to
take
a
minute
or
two
's
rest
to
recover
his
breath
;
then
,
gathering
his
wet
skirts
well
over
his
arms
,
he
started
to
run
after
the
barge
as
fast
as
his
legs
would
carry
him
,
wild
with
indignation
,
thirsting
for
revenge
.
