In Chapter 8, Toad escapes from prison in a washerwoman’s clothes with help from the jailer’s daughter, but leaves his money behind and depends on an engine driver for transport. When armed pursuers follow by rail, the driver helps him hide in a wood, where he sleeps hungry and far from home.
Cosa succede
- The jailer’s daughter brings Toad food and companionship, restoring his spirits after weeks of despair.
- She arranges for Toad to buy her aunt’s clothes and leave prison disguised as a washerwoman.

- An engine carrying armed pursuers approaches, and Toad admits his identity and explains his imprisonment.
- The driver slows beyond a tunnel so Toad can jump into a wood while both engines continue.
- Frightened and mocked by woodland creatures, Toad finds shelter in a hollow tree and sleeps until morning.
