<P> With the arrival of summer , Badger visits Mole and Rat to take action over Toad 's self - destructive obsession . The three of them go to Toad Hall , and Badger tries talking Toad out of his behaviour , to no avail . They put Toad under house arrest , with themselves as the guards , until Toad changes his mind . Feigning illness , Toad bamboozles the Water Rat ( who is on guard duty at the time ) and escapes . </P>
