"He must be a very nice animal," observed the Mole, as he got into the boat and took the sculls, while the Rat settled himself comfortably in the stern.

"He is indeed the best of animals," replied Rat. "So simple, so good-natured, and so affectionate. Perhaps he's not very clever — we can't all be geniuses; and it may be that he is both boastful and conceited. But he has got some great qualities, has Toady."

Dapper cologne, scorched waistcoat, a bit of pipe tobacco, and motor oil.
