The Adventures of Toad (27) [TheAdventures of Mr.Toad]
The Adventures of Toad (27)
The engine-driver looked very grave.
" I fear that you have been indeed a wicked toad, " he said, " and I ought to give you up to justice. But the sight of an animal in tears always mekes me feel soft-hearted. So cheer up, Toad ! I'll do my best and we may beat them yet ! "
They piled on more coals ; the furnace roared, the sparks flew, the engine leapt and swung, but still their pursuers slowly gained.
The engine-driver wiped his brow and said, " I'm afraid it's no good, Toad. You see, they have the better engine. There's only one thing left for us to do, and it's your only chance, so attend very carefully to what I tell you. A short way ahead of us is a long tunnel, and on the other side of that the line passes through a thick wood. Now, I will put on all the speed I can while we are running through the tunnel. "
