TOAD TALE PART 4
The Colonel listened patiently to Toads explanation of the plan that he and his men had devised over the past few days of careful construction.

"Jolly good job, Hall. Devious lot, you and your chaps but then I knew that already from your wartime missions. Seems to me you included everything as well as the kitchen sink in the shape of this young Osbert fellow. Thats your only weak link as far as I can see. Can he be trusted to fit in with the other pupils and most important of all keep his trap shut?"

"Yes sir because his uncle, who is my old observer Bones, has him firmly under his thumb. He's been caught red handed and that now hangs over him like the sword of Damocles, ripe to be whisked away to some penitentiary at the behest of the local magistrate Uncle Bones."

"I don't like using unreliable fellows, Hall. What's to say he won't be tempted to go astray again?"

"He was set up by his uncle on purpose to rope him in as a suitable foil for our needs. A few quid to a willing chambermaid and Bob's your uncle as indeed he is, since that's Bones' christian name."

"Poor little chap, a case of chitty chitty bang bang eh? Never fails, the pursuit of carnal knowledge."

"A double edged sword when you can be punished for what you didn't and couldn't do!" chuckled Toad.
