"That's how Miss Norah announced herself to me to-day. I might never have known she was there if she hadn't obligingly sneezed!
The Badger laughed good-humouredly and said, "All right, Ratty! It amuses you and it doesn't hurt me. I'm going to do all I've got to do with this here stick." But the Rat only said, "Please, Badger. You know I shouldn't like you to blame me afterwards and say I had forgotten anything!"
