TOAD’S FIRST MEETING WITH HIS COUNSELLOR
It would take too long to narrate all that happened over the next few days. First Toad was nursed by his friends. Then they encouraged him. Then they told him, quite sternly, to pull himself together. Finally, they spelled out the drab and dismal future facing him unless he ‘got a grip of himself’, as Badger eloquently put it.
