win0003 THE WIND IN THE WILLOWS BY KENNETH GRAHAME CHAPTER ONE THE RIVER BANK THE
win0004 MOLE HAD BEEN WORKING VERY HARD ALL THE MORNING SPRING CLEANING HIS LITTLE HOME
win0005 FIRST WITH BROOMS THEN WITH DUSTERS THEN ON LADDERS AND STEPS AND CHAIRS WITH A BRUSH AND A PAIL OF WHITEWASH
win0006 TILL HE HAD DUST IN HIS THROAT AND EYES AND SPLASHES OF WHITEWASH ALL OVER HIS BLACK FUR
win0007 AND AN ACHING BACK AND WEARY ARMS SPRING WAS MOVING IN THE AIR ABOVE
win0008 AND IN THE EARTH BELOW AND AROUND HIM PENETRATING EVEN HIS DARK AND LOWLY LITTLE
win0009 HOUSE WITH ITS SPIRIT OF DIVINE DISCONTENT AND LONGING
win0010 IT WAS SMALL WONDER THEN THAT HE SUDDENLY FLUNG DOWN HIS BRUSH ON THE FLOOR SAID
win0011 BOTHER AND O BLOW AND ALSO HANG SPRING CLEANING AND BOLTED OUT OF THE HOUSE
win0012 WITHOUT EVEN WAITING TO PUT ON HIS COAT SOMETHING UP ABOVE WAS CALLING HIM IMPERIOUSLY
win0013 AND HE MADE FOR THE STEEP LITTLE TUNNEL WHICH ANSWERED IN HIS CASE TO THE GRAVELLED CARRIAGE DRIVE OWNED BY ANIMALS WHOSE RESIDENCES ARE
win0014 NEARER TO THE SUN AND AIR
win0015 SO HE SCRAPED AND SCRATCHED AND SCRABBLED AND SCROOGED AND THEN HE SCROOGED AGAIN AND SCRABBLED AND SCRATCHED AND SCRAPED
win0016 WORKING BUSILY WITH HIS LITTLE PAWS AND MUTTERING TO HIMSELF UP WE GO UP WE GO
win0017 TILL AT LAST POP HIS SNOUT CAME OUT INTO THE SUNLIGHT
win0018 AND HE FOUND HIMSELF ROLLING IN THE WARM GRASS OF A GREAT MEADOW THIS IS FINE
win0019 HE SAID TO HIMSELF THIS IS BETTER THAN WHITEWASHING THE SUNSHINE STRUCK HOT ON HIS FUR
win0020 SOFT BREEZES CARESSED HIS HEATED BROW AND AFTER THE SECLUSION OF THE CELLARAGE HE HAD LIVED IN SO LONG
win0021 THE CAROL OF HAPPY BIRDS FELL ON HIS DULLED HEARING ALMOST LIKE A SHOUT
win0022 JUMPING OFF ALL HIS FOUR LEGS AT ONCE IN THE JOY OF LIVING AND THE DELIGHT OF SPRING
win0023 WITHOUT ITS CLEANING HE PURSUED HIS WAY ACROSS THE MEADOW TILL HE REACHED THE HEDGE ON THE FURTHER SIDE
win0024 HOLD UP SAID AN ELDERLY RABBIT AT THE GAP SIXPENCE FOR THE PRIVILEGE OF PASSING BY THE PRIVATE ROAD
win0025 HE WAS BOWLED OVER IN AN INSTANT BY THE IMPATIENT AND CONTEMPTUOUS MOLE
win0026 WHO TROTTED ALONG THE SIDE OF THE HEDGE CHAFFING THE OTHER RABBITS AS THEY PEEPED HURRIEDLY FROM THEIR HOLES TO SEE WHAT THE ROW WAS ABOUT
win0027 ONION SAUCE ONION SAUCE HE REMARKED JEERINGLY AND WAS GONE BEFORE THEY COULD THINK OF A THOROUGHLY SATISFACTORY REPLY
win0028 THEN THEY ALL STARTED GRUMBLING AT EACH OTHER HOW STUPID YOU ARE WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL HIM
win0029 WELL WHY DIDN'T YOU SAY YOU MIGHT HAVE REMINDED HIM AND SO ON IN THE USUAL WAY
win0030 BUT OF COURSE IT WAS THEN MUCH TOO LATE AS IS ALWAYS THE CASE
win0031 IT ALL SEEMED TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE HITHER AND THITHER THROUGH THE MEADOWS HE RAMBLED BUSILY
win0032 ALONG THE HEDGEROWS ACROSS THE COPSES FINDING EVERYWHERE BIRDS BUILDING FLOWERS BUDDING LEAVES THRUSTING EVERYTHING HAPPY
win0033 AND PROGRESSIVE AND OCCUPIED AND INSTEAD OF HAVING AN UNEASY CONSCIENCE PRICKING HIM AND WHISPERING
win0034 WHITEWASH HE SOMEHOW COULD ONLY FEEL HOW JOLLY IT WAS TO BE THE ONLY IDLE DOG AMONG ALL THESE BUSY CITIZENS
win0035 AFTER ALL THE BEST PART OF A HOLIDAY IS PERHAPS NOT SO MUCH TO BE RESTING YOURSELF
win0036 AS TO SEE ALL THE OTHER FELLOWS BUSY WORKING HE THOUGHT HIS HAPPINESS WAS COMPLETE
win0037 WHEN AS HE MEANDERED AIMLESSLY ALONG SUDDENLY HE STOOD BY THE EDGE OF A FULL FED RIVER
win0038 NEVER IN HIS LIFE HAD HE SEEN A RIVER BEFORE THIS SLEEK SINUOUS FULL BODIED ANIMAL
win0039 CHASING AND CHUCKLING GRIPPING THINGS WITH A GURGLE
win0040 AND LEAVING THEM WITH A LAUGH TO FLING ITSELF ON FRESH PLAYMATES THAT SHOOK THEMSELVES FREE
win0041 AND WERE CAUGHT AND HELD AGAIN ALL WAS A SHAKE AND A SHIVER
win0042 GLINTS AND GLEAMS AND SPARKLES RUSTLE AND SWIRL CHATTER AND BUBBLE THE MOLE WAS BEWITCHED ENTRANCED FASCINATED
win0043 BY THE SIDE OF THE RIVER HE TROTTED AS ONE TROTS WHEN VERY SMALL
win0044 BY THE SIDE OF A MAN WHO HOLDS ONE SPELL BOUND BY EXCITING STORIES
win0045 AND WHEN TIRED AT LAST HE SAT ON THE BANK WHILE THE RIVER STILL CHATTERED ON TO HIM
win0046 A BABBLING PROCESSION OF THE BEST STORIES IN THE WORLD SENT FROM THE HEART OF THE EARTH
win0047 TO BE TOLD AT LAST TO THE INSATIABLE SEA AS HE SAT ON THE GRASS AND LOOKED ACROSS THE RIVER
win0048 A DARK HOLE IN THE BANK OPPOSITE JUST ABOVE THE WATER'S EDGE CAUGHT HIS EYE
win0049 AND DREAMILY HE FELL TO CONSIDERING WHAT A NICE SNUG DWELLING PLACE IT WOULD MAKE FOR AN ANIMAL WITH
win0050 FEW WANTS AND FOND OF A BIJOU RIVERSIDE RESIDENCE ABOVE FLOOD LEVEL AND REMOTE FROM NOISE AND DUST
win0051 AS HE GAZED SOMETHING BRIGHT AND SMALL SEEMED TO TWINKLE DOWN IN THE HEART OF IT
win0052 VANISHED THEN TWINKLED ONCE MORE LIKE A TINY STAR BUT IT COULD HARDLY BE A STAR IN SUCH AN
win0053 UNLIKELY SITUATION AND IT WAS TOO GLITTERING AND SMALL FOR A GLOW WORM THEN
win0054 AS HE LOOKED IT WINKED AT HIM AND SO DECLARED ITSELF TO BE AN EYE
win0055 AND A SMALL FACE BEGAN GRADUALLY TO GROW UP ROUND IT LIKE A FRAME ROUND A PICTURE
win0056 A BROWN LITTLE FACE WITH WHISKERS A GRAVE ROUND FACE
win0057 WITH THE SAME TWINKLE IN ITS EYE THAT HAD FIRST ATTRACTED HIS NOTICE
win0058 SMALL NEAT EARS AND THICK SILKY HAIR IT WAS THE WATER RAT
win0059 THEN THE TWO ANIMALS STOOD AND REGARDED EACH OTHER CAUTIOUSLY HULLO MOLE SAID THE WATER RAT
win0060 HULLO RAT SAID THE MOLE WOULD YOU LIKE TO COME OVER ENQUIRED THE RAT PRESENTLY
win0061 OH ITS ALL VERY WELL TO TALK SAID THE MOLE RATHER PETTISHLY
win0062 HE BEING NEW TO A RIVER AND RIVERSIDE LIFE AND ITS WAYS THE RAT SAID NOTHING
win0063 BUT STOOPED AND UNFASTENED A ROPE AND HAULED ON IT THEN LIGHTLY STEPPED INTO A LITTLE BOAT
win0064 WHICH THE MOLE HAD NOT OBSERVED IT WAS PAINTED BLUE OUTSIDE AND WHITE WITHIN
win0065 AND WAS JUST THE SIZE FOR TWO ANIMALS AND THE MOLE'S WHOLE HEART WENT OUT TO IT AT ONCE
win0066 EVEN THOUGH HE DID NOT YET FULLY UNDERSTAND ITS USES THE RAT SCULLED SMARTLY ACROSS AND MADE FAST
win0067 THEN HE HELD UP HIS FOREPAW AS THE MOLE STEPPED GINGERLY DOWN LEAN ON THAT HE SAID
win0068 NOW THEN STEP LIVELY AND THE MOLE TO HIS SURPRISE AND RAPTURE
win0069 FOUND HIMSELF ACTUALLY SEATED IN THE STERN OF A REAL BOAT
win0070 THIS HAS BEEN A WONDERFUL DAY SAID HE AS THE RAT SHOVED OFF AND TOOK TO THE SCULLS AGAIN DO
win0071 YOU KNOW I'VE NEVER BEEN IN A BOAT BEFORE IN ALL MY LIFE
win0072 WHAT CRIED THE RAT OPEN MOUTHED NEVER BEEN IN A YOU NEVER WELL I
win0073 WHAT HAVE YOU BEEN DOING THEN IS IT SO NICE AS ALL THAT
win0074 ASKED THE MOLE SHYLY THOUGH HE WAS QUITE PREPARED TO BELIEVE IT AS HE LEANT BACK IN HIS SEAT
win0075 AND SURVEYED THE CUSHIONS THE OARS THE ROWLOCKS AND ALL THE FASCINATING FITTINGS
win0076 AND FELT THE BOAT SWAY LIGHTLY UNDER HIM NICE IT'S THE ONLY THING
win0077 SAID THE WATER RAT SOLEMNLY AS HE LEANT FORWARD FOR HIS STROKE BELIEVE ME MY YOUNG FRIEND
win0078 THERE IS NOTHING ABSOLUTE NOTHING HALF SO MUCH WORTH DOING AS SIMPLY MESSING ABOUT IN BOATS
win0079 SIMPLY MESSING HE WENT ON DREAMILY MESSING ABOUT IN BOATS MESSING LOOK AHEAD RAT
win0080 CRIED THE MOLE SUDDENLY IT WAS TOO LATE THE BOAT STRUCK THE BANK FULL TILT
win0081 THE DREAMER THE JOYOUS OARSMAN LAY ON HIS BACK AT THE BOTTOM OF THE BOAT
win0082 HIS HEELS IN THE AIR ABOUT IN BOATS OR WITH BOATS THE RAT WENT ON COMPOSEDLY
win0083 PICKING HIMSELF UP WITH A PLEASANT LAUGH IN OR OUT OF EM IT DOESN'T MATTER
win0084 NOTHING SEEMS REALLY TO MATTER THAT'S THE CHARM OF IT WHETHER YOU GET AWAY OR WHETHER YOU DON'T
win0085 WHETHER YOU ARRIVE AT YOUR DESTINATION OR WHETHER YOU REACH SOMEWHERE ELSE
win0086 OR WHETHER YOU NEVER GET ANYWHERE AT ALL YOU'RE ALWAYS BUSY AND YOU NEVER DO ANYTHING IN PARTICULAR
win0087 AND WHEN YOU'VE DONE IT THERE'S ALWAYS SOMETHING ELSE TO DO AND YOU CAN DO IT IF YOU LIKE
win0088 BUT YOU'D MUCH BETTER NOT LOOK HERE IF YOU'VE REALLY NOTHING ELSE ON HAND THIS MORNING
win0089 SUPPOSING WE DROP DOWN THE RIVER TOGETHER AND HAVE A LONG DAY OF IT
win0090 THE MOLE WAGGLED HIS TOES FROM SHEER HAPPINESS SPREAD HIS CHEST WITH A SIGH OF FULL CONTENTMENT
win0091 AND LEANED BACK BLISSFULLY INTO THE SOFT CUSHIONS WHAT A DAY I'M HAVING HE SAID
win0092 LET US START AT ONCE HOLD HARD A MINUTE THEN SAID THE RAT HE
win0093 LOOPED THE PAINTER THROUGH A RING IN HIS LANDING STAGE CLIMBED UP INTO HIS HOLE ABOVE
win0094 AND AFTER A SHORT INTERVAL REAPPEARED STAGGERING UNDER A FAT WICKER LUNCHEON BASKET
win0095 SHOVE THAT UNDER YOUR FEET HE OBSERVED TO THE MOLE AS HE PASSED IT DOWN INTO THE BOAT
win0096 THEN HE UNTIED THE PAINTER AND TOOK THE SCULLS AGAIN WHAT'S INSIDE IT

win0099 O STOP STOP CRIED THE MOLE IN ECSTACIES THIS IS TOO MUCH DO YOU REALLY THINK SO
win0100 ENQUIRED THE RAT SERIOUSLY IT'S ONLY WHAT I ALWAYS TAKE ON THESE LITTLE EXCURSIONS
win0101 AND THE OTHER ANIMALS ARE ALWAYS TELLING ME THAT I'M A MEAN BEAST AND CUT IT VERY FINE
win0102 THE MOLE NEVER HEARD A WORD HE WAS SAYING ABSORBED IN THE NEW LIFE HE WAS ENTERING UPON
win0103 INTOXICATED WITH THE SPARKLE THE RIPPLE THE SCENTS AND THE SOUNDS AND THE SUNLIGHT
win0104 HE TRAILED A PAW IN THE WATER AND DREAMED LONG WAKING DREAMS THE WATER RAT
win0105 LIKE THE GOOD LITTLE FELLOW HE WAS SCULLED STEADILY ON AND FOREBORE TO DISTURB HIM
win0106 I LIKE YOUR CLOTHES AWFULLY OLD CHAP HE REMARKED AFTER SOME HALF AN HOUR OR SO HAD PASSED
win0107 I'M GOING TO GET A BLACK VELVET SMOKING SUIT MYSELF SOME DAY
win0108 AS SOON AS I CAN AFFORD IT I BEG YOUR PARDON
win0109 SAID THE MOLE PULLING HIMSELF TOGETHER WITH AN EFFORT YOU MUST THINK ME VERY RUDE
win0110 BUT ALL THIS IS SO NEW TO ME SO THIS IS A RIVER THE RIVER
win0111 CORRECTED THE RAT AND YOU REALLY LIVE BY THE RIVER WHAT A JOLLY LIFE BY IT AND WITH IT
win0112 AND ON IT AND IN IT SAID THE RAT IT'S BROTHER AND SISTER TO ME
win0113 AND AUNTS AND COMPANY AND FOOD AND DRINK AND NATURALLY WASHING IT'S MY WORLD
win0114 AND I DON'T WANT ANY OTHER WHAT IT HASN'T GOT IS NOT WORTH HAVING
win0115 AND WHAT IT DOESN'T KNOW IS NOT WORTH KNOWING LORD THE TIMES WE'VE HAD TOGETHER
win0116 WHETHER IN WINTER OR SUMMER SPRING OR AUTUMN IT'S ALWAYS GOT ITS FUN AND ITS EXCITEMENTS
win0117 WHEN THE FLOODS ARE ON IN FEBRUARY AND MY CELLARS AND BASEMENT ARE BRIMMING WITH DRINK THAT'S NO GOOD TO ME
win0118 AND THE BROWN WATER RUNS BY MY BEST BEDROOM WINDOW OR AGAIN WHEN IT ALL DROPS AWAY AND
win0119 SHOWS PATCHES OF MUD THAT SMELLS LIKE PLUM CAKE AND THE RUSHES AND WEED CLOG THE CHANNELS
win0120 AND I CAN POTTER ABOUT DRY SHOD OVER MOST OF THE BED OF IT
win0121 AND FIND FRESH FOOD TO EAT AND THINGS CARELESS PEOPLE HAVE DROPPED OUT OF BOATS
win0122 BUT ISN'T IT A BIT DULL AT TIMES THE MOLE VENTURED TO ASK
win0123 JUST YOU AND THE RIVER AND NO ONE ELSE TO PASS A WORD WITH
win0124 NO ONE ELSE TO WELL I MUSTN'T BE HARD ON YOU SAID THE RAT WITH FORBEARANCE
win0125 YOU'RE NEW TO IT AND OF COURSE YOU DON'T KNOW THE

win0129 AND ALWAYS WANTING YOU TO DO SOMETHING AS IF A FELLOW HAD NO BUSINESS OF HIS OWN TO ATTEND TO
win0130 WHAT LIES OVER THERE
win0131 ASKED THE MOLE WAVING A PAW TOWARDS A BACKGROUND OF WOODLAND THAT DARKLY FRAMED THE WATER MEADOWS ON ONE SIDE OF THE RIVER
win0132 THAT O THAT'S JUST THE WILD WOOD SAID THE RAT SHORTLY
win0133 WE DON'T GO THERE VERY MUCH WE RIVER BANKERS AREN'T THEY AREN'T THEY VERY NICE PEOPLE IN THERE
win0134 SAID THE MOLE A TRIFLE NERVOUSLY WELL REPLIED THE RAT LET ME SEE
win0135 THE SQUIRRELS ARE ALL RIGHT AND THE RABBITS SOME OF EM BUT RABBITS ARE A MIXED LOT
win0136 AND THEN THERE'S BADGER OF COURSE HE LIVES RIGHT IN THE HEART OF IT
win0137 WOULDN'T LIVE ANYWHERE ELSE EITHER IF YOU PAID HIM TO DO IT DEAR OLD BADGER
win0138 NOBODY INTERFERES WITH HIM THEY'D BETTER NOT HE ADDED SIGNIFICANTLY WHY WHO SHOULD INTERFERE WITH HIM
win0139 ASKED THE MOLE WELL OF COURSE THERE ARE OTHERS EXPLAINED THE RAT IN A HESITATING SORT OF WAY
win0140 WEASELS AND STOATS AND FOXES AND SO ON THEY'RE ALL RIGHT IN A WAY
win0141 I'M VERY GOOD FRIENDS WITH THEM PASS THE TIME OF DAY WHEN WE MEET AND ALL THAT
win0142 BUT THEY BREAK OUT SOMETIMES THERE'S NO DENYING IT AND THEN WELL
win0143 YOU CAN'T REALLY TRUST THEM AND THAT'S THE FACT THE MOLE KNEW WELL
win0144 THAT IT IS QUITE AGAINST ANIMAL ETIQUETTE TO DWELL ON POSSIBLE TROUBLE AHEAD
win0145 OR EVEN TO ALLUDE TO IT SO HE DROPPED THE SUBJECT AND BEYOND THE WILD WOOD AGAIN
win0146 HE ASKED WHERE IT'S ALL BLUE AND DIM AND ONE SEES WHAT MAY BE HILLS OR PERHAPS THEY MAY NOT
win0147 AND SOMETHING LIKE THE SMOKE OF TOWNS OR IS IT ONLY CLOUD DRIFT
win0148 BEYOND THE WILD WOOD COMES THE WIDE WORLD SAID THE RAT AND THAT'S SOMETHING THAT DOESN'T MATTER

win0150 NOR YOU EITHER IF YOU'VE GOT ANY SENSE AT ALL DON'T EVER REFER TO IT AGAIN PLEASE
win0151 NOW THEN HERE'S OUR BACKWATER AT LAST WHERE WE'RE GOING TO LUNCH LEAVING THE MAIN STREAM
win0152 THEY NOW PASSED INTO WHAT SEEMED AT FIRST SIGHT LIKE A LITTLE LAND LOCKED LAKE
win0153 GREEN TURF SLOPED DOWN TO EITHER EDGE BROWN SNAKY TREE ROOTS GLEAMED BELOW THE SURFACE OF THE QUIET WATER
win0154 WHILE AHEAD OF THEM THE SILVERY SHOULDER AND FOAMY TUMBLE OF A WEIR
win0155 ARM IN ARM WITH A RESTLESS DRIPPING MILL WHEEL
win0156 THAT HELD UP IN ITS TURN A GREY GABLED MILL HOUSE FILLED THE AIR WITH A SOOTHING MURMUR OF SOUND
win0157 DULL AND SMOTHERY YET WITH LITTLE CLEAR VOICES SPEAKING UP CHEERFULLY OUT OF IT AT INTERVALS
win0158 IT WAS SO VERY BEAUTIFUL THAT THE MOLE COULD ONLY HOLD UP BOTH FOREPAWS AND GASP
win0159 O MY O MY O MY THE RAT BROUGHT THE BOAT ALONGSIDE THE BANK
win0160 MADE HER FAST HELPED THE STILL AWKWARD MOLE SAFELY ASHORE AND SWUNG OUT THE LUNCHEON BASKET
win0161 THE MOLE BEGGED AS A FAVOUR TO BE ALLOWED TO UNPACK IT ALL BY HIMSELF
win0162 AND THE RAT WAS VERY PLEASED TO INDULGE HIM AND TO SPRAWL AT FULL LENGTH ON THE GRASS AND REST
win0163 WHILE HIS EXCITED FRIEND SHOOK OUT THE TABLE CLOTH AND SPREAD IT
win0164 TOOK OUT ALL THE MYSTERIOUS PACKETS ONE BY ONE AND ARRANGED THEIR CONTENTS IN DUE ORDER
win0165 STILL GASPING O MY O MY AT EACH FRESH REVELATION WHEN ALL WAS READY THE RAT SAID
win0166 NOW PITCH IN OLD FELLOW
win0167 AND THE MOLE WAS INDEED VERY GLAD TO OBEY FOR HE HAD STARTED HIS SPRING CLEANING AT A VERY EARLY HOUR THAT MORNING
win0168 AS PEOPLE WILL DO AND HAD NOT PAUSED FOR BITE OR SUP AND HE HAD BEEN THROUGH
win0169 A VERY GREAT DEAL SINCE THAT DISTANT TIME WHICH NOW SEEMED SO MANY DAYS AGO WHAT
win0170 ARE YOU LOOKING AT SAID THE RAT PRESENTLY WHEN THE EDGE OF THEIR HUNGER WAS SOMEWHAT DULLED
win0171 AND THE MOLE'S EYES WERE ABLE TO WANDER OFF THE TABLE CLOTH A LITTLE
win0172 I AM LOOKING SAID THE MOLE AT A STREAK OF BUBBLES THAT I SEE TRAVELLING ALONG THE SURFACE OF THE WATER
win0173 THAT IS A THING THAT STRIKES ME AS FUNNY BUBBLES OH SAID THE RAT
win0174 AND CHIRRUPED CHEERILY IN AN INVITING SORT OF WAY
win0175 A BROAD GLISTENING MUZZLE SHOWED ITSELF ABOVE THE EDGE OF THE BANK
win0176 AND THE OTTER HAULED HIMSELF OUT AND SHOOK THE WATER FROM HIS COAT GREEDY BEGGARS
win0177 HE OBSERVED MAKING FOR THE PROVENDER WHY DIDN'T YOU INVITE ME RATTY THIS WAS AN IMPROMPTU AFFAIR
win0178 EXPLAINED THE RAT BY THE WAY MY FRIEND MR MOLE PROUD I'M SURE SAID THE OTTER
win0179 AND THE TWO ANIMALS WERE FRIENDS FORTHWITH SUCH A RUMPUS EVERYWHERE CONTINUED THE OTTER
win0180 ALL THE WORLD SEEMS OUT ON THE RIVER TODAY
win0181 I CAME UP THIS BACKWATER TO TRY AND GET A MOMENT'S PEACE
win0182 AND THEN STUMBLE UPON YOU FELLOWS AT LEAST I BEG PARDON I DON'T EXACTLY MEAN THAT YOU KNOW THERE
win0183 WAS A RUSTLE BEHIND THEM PROCEEDING FROM A HEDGE WHEREIN LAST YEAR'S LEAVES STILL CLUNG THICK
win0184 AND A STRIPY HEAD WITH HIGH SHOULDERS BEHIND IT PEERED FORTH ON THEM COME ON OLD BADGER
win0185 SHOUTED THE RAT THE BADGER TROTTED FORWARD A PACE OR TWO THEN GRUNTED HUM COMPANY
win0186 AND TURNED HIS BACK AND DISAPPEARED FROM VIEW THAT'S JUST THE SORT OF FELLOW HE IS
win0187 OBSERVED THE DISAPPOINTED RAT SIMPLY HATES SOCIETY NOW WE SHAN'T SEE ANY MORE OF HIM TODAY
win0188 WELL TELL US WHO'S OUT ON THE RIVER TOAD'S OUT FOR ONE REPLIED THE OTTER
win0189 IN HIS BRAND NEW WAGER BOAT NEW TOGS NEW EVERYTHING THE TWO ANIMALS LOOKED AT EACH OTHER AND LAUGHED
win0190 ONCE IT WAS NOTHING BUT SAILING SAID THE RAT THEN HE TIRED OF THAT AND TOOK TO PUNTING
win0191 NOTHING WOULD PLEASE HIM BUT TO PUNT ALL DAY AND EVERY DAY AND
win0192 A NICE MESS HE MADE OF IT LAST YEAR IT WAS HOUSE BOATING
win0193 AND WE ALL HAD TO GO AND STAY WITH HIM IN HIS HOUSE BOAT
win0194 AND PRETEND WE LIKED IT HE WAS GOING TO SPEND THE REST OF HIS LIFE IN A HOUSE BOAT
win0195 IT'S ALL THE SAME WHATEVER HE TAKES UP HE GETS TIRED OF IT AND STARTS ON SOMETHING FRESH
win0196 SUCH A GOOD FELLOW TOO REMARKED THE OTTER REFLECTIVELY BUT NO STABILITY ESPECIALLY IN A BOAT FROM
win0197 WHERE THEY SAT THEY COULD GET A GLIMPSE OF THE MAIN STREAM ACROSS THE ISLAND THAT SEPARATED THEM
win0198 AND JUST THEN A WAGER BOAT FLASHED INTO VIEW THE ROWER A SHORT STOUT FIGURE
win0199 SPLASHING BADLY AND ROLLING A GOOD DEAL BUT WORKING HIS HARDEST THE RAT STOOD UP AND HAILED HIM
win0200 BUT TOAD FOR IT WAS HE SHOOK HIS HEAD AND SETTLED STERNLY TO HIS WORK
win0201 HE'LL BE OUT OF THE BOAT IN A MINUTE IF HE ROLLS LIKE THAT SAID THE RAT SITTING DOWN AGAIN
win0202 OF COURSE HE WILL CHUCKLED THE OTTER DID I EVER TELL YOU THAT GOOD STORY ABOUT TOAD AND THE LOCK KEEPER
win0203 IT HAPPENED THIS WAY TOAD AN ERRANT MAY FLY SWERVED UNSTEADILY ATHWART THE CURRENT
win0204 IN THE INTOXICATED FASHION AFFECTED BY YOUNG BLOODS OF MAY FLIES SEEING LIFE A SWIRL OF WATER AND A CLOOP
win0205 AND THE MAY FLY WAS VISIBLE NO MORE NEITHER WAS THE OTTER THE MOLE LOOKED DOWN
win0206 THE VOICE WAS STILL IN HIS EARS BUT THE TURF WHEREON HE HAD SPRAWLED
win0207 WAS CLEARLY VACANT NOT AN OTTER TO BE SEEN AS FAR AS THE DISTANT HORIZON
win0208 BUT AGAIN THERE WAS A STREAK OF BUBBLES ON THE SURFACE OF THE RIVER THE RAT
win0209 HUMMED A TUNE AND THE MOLE RECOLLECTED THAT ANIMAL ETIQUETTE FORBADE ANY SORT OF COMMENT ON THE SUDDEN DISAPPEARANCE OF ONE'S FRIENDS
win0210 AT ANY MOMENT FOR ANY REASON OR NO REASON WHATEVER WELL WELL SAID THE RAT
win0211 I SUPPOSE WE OUGHT TO BE MOVING I WONDER WHICH OF US HAD BETTER PACK THE LUNCHEON BASKET
win0212 HE DID NOT SPEAK AS IF HE WAS FRIGHTFULLY EAGER FOR THE TREAT O
win0213 PLEASE LET ME SAID THE MOLE SO OF COURSE THE RAT LET HIM
win0214 PACKING THE BASKET WAS NOT QUITE SUCH PLEASANT WORK AS UNPACKING THE BASKET IT NEVER IS
win0215 BUT THE MOLE WAS BENT ON ENJOYING EVERYTHING AND ALTHOUGH
win0216 JUST WHEN HE HAD GOT THE BASKET PACKED AND STRAPPED UP TIGHTLY
win0217 HE SAW A PLATE STARING UP AT HIM FROM THE GRASS
win0218 AND WHEN THE JOB HAD BEEN DONE AGAIN THE RAT POINTED OUT A FORK WHICH
win0219 ANYBODY OUGHT TO HAVE SEEN AND LAST OF ALL BEHOLD THE MUSTARD POT
win0220 WHICH HE HAD BEEN SITTING ON WITHOUT KNOWING IT STILL SOMEHOW THE THING GOT FINISHED AT LAST WITHOUT
win0221 MUCH LOSS OF TEMPER THE AFTERNOON SUN WAS GETTING LOW AS THE RAT
win0222 SCULLED GENTLY HOMEWARDS IN A DREAMY MOOD MURMURING POETRY THINGS OVER TO HIMSELF
win0223 AND NOT PAYING MUCH ATTENTION TO MOLE BUT THE MOLE WAS VERY FULL OF LUNCH AND SELF SATISFACTION
win0224 AND PRIDE AND ALREADY QUITE AT HOME IN A BOAT SO HE THOUGHT
win0225 AND WAS GETTING A BIT RESTLESS BESIDES AND PRESENTLY HE SAID RATTY PLEASE
win0226 I WANT TO ROW NOW THE RAT SHOOK HIS HEAD WITH A SMILE
win0227 NOT YET MY YOUNG FRIEND HE SAID WAIT TILL YOU'VE HAD A FEW LESSONS IT'S NOT SO EASY AS IT LOOKS
win0228 THE MOLE WAS QUIET FOR A MINUTE OR TWO BUT HE BEGAN TO FEEL
win0229 MORE AND MORE JEALOUS OF RAT SCULLING SO STRONGLY AND SO EASILY ALONG
win0230 AND HIS PRIDE BEGAN TO WHISPER THAT HE COULD DO IT EVERY BIT AS WELL
win0231 HE JUMPED UP AND SEIZED THE SCULLS SO SUDDENLY THAT THE RAT WHO WAS
win0232 GAZING OUT OVER THE WATER AND SAYING MORE POETRY THINGS TO HIMSELF
win0233 WAS TAKEN BY SURPRISE AND FELL BACKWARDS OFF HIS SEAT WITH HIS LEGS IN THE AIR FOR THE SECOND TIME
win0234 WHILE THE TRIUMPHANT MOLE TOOK HIS PLACE AND GRABBED THE SCULLS WITH ENTIRE CONFIDENCE
win0235 STOP IT YOU SILLY ASS CRIED THE RAT FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE BOAT YOU CAN'T DO IT YOU'LL HAVE US OVER
win0236 THE MOLE FLUNG HIS SCULLS BACK WITH A FLOURISH AND MADE A GREAT DIG AT THE WATER
win0237 HE MISSED THE SURFACE ALTOGETHER HIS LEGS FLEW UP ABOVE HIS HEAD
win0238 AND HE FOUND HIMSELF LYING ON THE TOP OF THE PROSTRATE RAT
win0239 GREATLY ALARMED HE MADE A GRAB AT THE SIDE OF THE BOAT AND THE NEXT MOMENT
win0240 SPLOOSH OVER WENT THE BOAT AND HE FOUND HIMSELF STRUGGLING IN THE RIVER
win0241 O MY HOW COLD THE WATER WAS AND O HOW VERY WET IT FELT
win0242 HOW IT SANG IN HIS EARS AS HE WENT DOWN DOWN DOWN
win0243 HOW BRIGHT AND WELCOME THE SUN LOOKED AS HE ROSE TO THE SURFACE COUGHING AND SPLUTTERING
win0244 HOW BLACK WAS HIS DESPAIR WHEN HE FELT HIMSELF SINKING AGAIN
win0245 THEN A FIRM PAW GRIPPED HIM BY THE BACK OF HIS NECK IT WAS THE RAT
win0246 AND HE WAS EVIDENTLY LAUGHING THE MOLE COULD FEEL HIM LAUGHING
win0247 RIGHT DOWN HIS ARM AND THROUGH HIS PAW AND SO INTO HIS THE MOLE'S NECK
win0248 THE RAT GOT HOLD OF A SCULL AND SHOVED IT UNDER THE MOLE'S ARM
win0249 THEN HE DID THE SAME BY THE OTHER SIDE OF HIM
win0250 AND SWIMMING BEHIND PROPELLED THE HELPLESS ANIMAL TO SHORE HAULED HIM OUT
win0251 AND SET HIM DOWN ON THE BANK A SQUASHY PULPY LUMP OF MISERY
win0252 WHEN THE RAT HAD RUBBED HIM DOWN A BIT AND WRUNG SOME OF THE WET OUT OF HIM
win0253 HE SAID NOW THEN OLD FELLOW TROT UP AND DOWN THE TOWING PATH AS HARD AS YOU CAN
win0254 TILL YOU'RE WARM AND DRY AGAIN WHILE I DIVE FOR THE LUNCHEON BASKET SO THE DISMAL MOLE
win0255 WET WITHOUT AND ASHAMED WITHIN TROTTED ABOUT TILL HE WAS FAIRLY DRY
win0256 WHILE THE RAT PLUNGED INTO THE WATER AGAIN RECOVERED THE BOAT RIGHTED HER AND MADE HER FAST
win0257 FETCHED HIS FLOATING PROPERTY TO SHORE BY DEGREES AND FINALLY DIVED SUCCESSFULLY FOR THE LUNCHEON BASKET
win0258 AND STRUGGLED TO LAND WITH IT WHEN ALL WAS READY FOR A START ONCE MORE
win0259 THE MOLE LIMP AND DEJECTED TOOK HIS SEAT IN THE STERN OF THE BOAT
win0260 AND AS THEY SET OFF HE SAID IN A LOW VOICE BROKEN WITH EMOTION
win0261 RATTY MY GENEROUS FRIEND I AM VERY SORRY INDEED FOR MY FOOLISH AND UNGRATEFUL CONDUCT
win0262 MY HEART QUITE FAILS ME WHEN I THINK HOW I MIGHT HAVE LOST THAT BEAUTIFUL LUNCHEON BASKET
win0263 INDEED I HAVE BEEN A COMPLETE ASS AND I KNOW IT
win0264 WILL YOU OVERLOOK IT THIS ONCE AND FORGIVE ME AND LET THINGS GO ON AS BEFORE
win0265 THAT'S ALL RIGHT BLESS YOU RESPONDED THE RAT CHEERILY WHAT'S A LITTLE WET TO A WATER RAT
win0266 I'M MORE IN THE WATER THAN OUT OF IT MOST DAYS
win0267 DON'T YOU THINK ANY MORE ABOUT IT AND LOOK HERE I REALLY THINK YOU HAD BETTER COME AND STOP WITH ME FOR A LITTLE TIME
win0268 IT'S VERY PLAIN AND ROUGH YOU KNOW NOT LIKE TOAD'S HOUSE AT ALL
win0269 BUT YOU HAVEN'T SEEN THAT YET STILL I CAN MAKE YOU COMFORTABLE
win0270 AND I'LL TEACH YOU TO ROW AND TO SWIM
win0271 AND YOU'LL SOON BE AS HANDY ON THE WATER AS ANY OF US THE MOLE
win0272 WAS SO TOUCHED BY HIS KIND MANNER OF SPEAKING THAT HE COULD FIND NO VOICE TO ANSWER HIM
win0273 AND HE HAD TO BRUSH AWAY A TEAR OR TWO WITH THE BACK OF HIS PAW
win0274 BUT THE RAT KINDLY LOOKED IN ANOTHER DIRECTION AND PRESENTLY THE MOLE'S SPIRITS REVIVED AGAIN
win0275 AND HE WAS EVEN ABLE TO GIVE SOME STRAIGHT BACK TALK TO A COUPLE OF MOORHENS WHO WERE SNIGGERING TO EACH OTHER ABOUT HIS BEDRAGGLED APPEARANCE
win0276 WHEN THEY GOT HOME THE RAT MADE A BRIGHT FIRE IN THE PARLOUR
win0277 AND PLANTED THE MOLE IN AN ARM CHAIR IN FRONT OF IT
win0278 HAVING FETCHED DOWN A DRESSING GOWN AND SLIPPERS FOR HIM AND TOLD HIM RIVER STORIES TILL SUPPER TIME
win0279 VERY THRILLING STORIES THEY WERE TOO TO AN EARTH DWELLING ANIMAL LIKE MOLE
win0280 STORIES ABOUT WEIRS AND SUDDEN FLOODS AND LEAPING PIKE AND STEAMERS THAT FLUNG HARD BOTTLES
win0281 AT LEAST BOTTLES WERE CERTAINLY FLUNG AND FROM STEAMERS SO PRESUMABLY BY THEM AND ABOUT HERONS
win0282 AND HOW PARTICULAR THEY WERE WHOM THEY SPOKE TO AND ABOUT ADVENTURES DOWN DRAINS
win0283 AND NIGHT FISHINGS WITH OTTER OR EXCURSIONS FAR A FIELD WITH BADGER
win0284 SUPPER WAS A MOST CHEERFUL MEAL BUT VERY SHORTLY AFTERWARDS A TERRIBLY SLEEPY MOLE HAD TO BE ESCORTED UPSTAIRS BY HIS CONSIDERATE HOST
win0285 TO THE BEST BEDROOM WHERE HE SOON LAID HIS HEAD ON HIS PILLOW
win0286 IN GREAT PEACE AND CONTENTMENT KNOWING THAT HIS NEW FOUND FRIEND THE RIVER
win0287 WAS LAPPING THE SILL OF HIS WINDOW THIS DAY
win0288 WAS ONLY THE FIRST OF MANY SIMILAR ONES FOR THE EMANCIPATED MOLE EACH OF THEM
