The wind in the willows - The Wild Wood [antikvár]

Mole was longing to meet Mr Badger. He was the kind of person who everyone knew about, but nobody ever saw."Badger will turn up some day or another, and then I'll introduce you!" promised the Rat."Couldn't you ask him to dinner or something?" said Mole."He wouldn't come," replied Ratty simply. "Badger hates coming to dinner and all that sort of thing.""Well then, supposing we go and call on him," suggested Mole.
