"It's a sign o how ignint they is", said the barge woman. Otter had gone back out to scout the countryside and had come across the old barge woman tied up on the river. Toad's problem is he gets overly edgicated, but he means no harm. Thi was news gto Otter, who they he had know Toad all his life would never consider him remotely subject to over-education. "Dearie", said the Otter you must be mistaken" the Otter suggested, "as I do believe the Toad could do with as much education as his great head could sustain."
"No, no, no!", said the barge woman. "Are you daft? I said over edgicated!. You know like fidgety, wound up!"
"Ohhhhh" chuckled Otter. "Yes, he often gets agitated and then does something terribly impulsive."
"Just as I say. I heard from the engineer on the evening train that they be taking the tubes out o' Toad o'er at hospital and cuttin' back on the drugs they be giving him, and that he'd suddenly go all edgicated and try an' jump out the bed!"
When Otter heard this he knew he must get this intelligence to HQ immediately. The time for Toad's rescue was upon them.
