“Toad, with no one to check his statements or to criticize in an unfriendly spirit, rather let himself go. Indeed, much that he related belonged more properly to the category of what-might-have-happened-had-I-only-thought-of-it-in-time-instead-of-ten-minutes-afterwards. Those are always the best and raciest adventures; and why should they not be truly ours, as much as the somewhat inadequate things that really come off?” ShouldMightSpiritHappenedMinutesAdventureTenChecksStatementsRelatedCriticizeCategoriesInadequateToadsUnfriendly Book:The wind in the willows Source: The wind in the willows
