Here’s another puzzle for you. What’s Mole’s social status supposed to be? Out of the main four he’s clearly the lowest on the totem pole and in the fifth chapter focusing on Mole End he’s described as a lower-middle class bloke having to save and “go without” and always hunting for bargains, etc. And paradoxically he somehow fancier clothes than Rat who is more well-off yet a velvet smoking jacket is out of his price range. Also what’s with Mole eclectic choice for in garden decor? A bust of Queen Victoria seems something any British bloke would have around, but having busts of “heroes of modern Italy” just seems out there.

So yeah, your first assessment is pretty much bang on! He is the poorest out of the main four (evidence being, yes, the comment about saving up, and his general reaction to the others' lifestyles).

The velvet smoking jacket isn't really an indicator of Mole having money so much as it is a joke/reference – mole fur is short and velvety, so what most analysis seems to conclude is that Grahame chose a "black velvet smoking-suit" as a nod to Mole's fur

A lot of adaptations give Mole a jacket, albeit often a bit tatty and second-hand, so I always assumed it's either old and/or inherited from a relative. Certainly, if it is smart and new, it seems strange that Mole would be doing spring cleaning in it!

Indeed, I've met plenty of people who use old good-quality clothes for gardening and the suchlike – because even if it's not Fancy Night Out worthy anymore, it's still usually too good to throw out and is plenty comfortable. So it's probably safe to assume it's not brand spanking new

(And Ratty is always so polite – he works to point out the good in Mole End, even if it's underground and dusty and small – that I can see him complimenting Mole's jacket, even if it is a bit tired and old and has a paint stain on the hem!)

As for Mole's garden decor... this Grahame's personal biases coming shining through. About 40yrs before he wrote witw, Grahame's town was visited by Garibaldi, and this presumably left quite an impact on Grahame, enough for him to include a reference in Mole's decor. Plus, Garibaldi was pretty famous at the time, and merchandise of him was pretty commonplace and cheap, so this is more a sign that Mole is keeping up with (then) modern times and buys the occasional knick-knack to brighten up his home

just recalled a small chat from my Drarry fanfiction:

Harry: — Why can't you stop being such an asshole?

Draco: — Because I'm your asshole.

I haven't had to book an appointment with my GP for some time (outside pre-arranged vaccines and the like) and the landscape now for trying to get through to a human being is so so different from what it was even five years ago. Everywhere I call it's just "try econsult" "try self referral through this convoluted paperwork" "try this online form" I'm a millennial who grew up with technology, and I want to throw the laptop out of the window. I have no idea how anyone less tech-savvy is possibly coping with this detached, silicon-based communication, esp if they're sick or scared

What is Mr. Toad supposed to be? The scion of an established aristocracy or the embodiment of the Edwardian nouveau riche?

So I had to check in with fellow witw enthusiast @dontbecattyratty (also a very good witw blog, would definitely recommend checking them out!) who not only confirmed what I already expected (nouveau rich) but then proceeded to do a thorough breakdown of Toad vs Badger, vs Grahame's own experiences – but I will leave them to explain that, as they can do a much better job of it than me!

The original book is never 100% clear one way or the other, and adaptations have spun it both ways – although I think the Established Aristocracy angle is more popular since the existance of Toad Hall makes it sound as though Toad's family is an established lineage along the Riverbank, rather than a recent addition.

That said, Toad's behaviour is much more reminiscent of the stereotypical Nouveau Riche cliche – spending money on frivolous, temporary hobbies, always racing to keep up with the latest trends (think Gatsby, think Musk) rather than investing in more long-term quality or being involved with the local community. Toad advertises his wealth in a way that "I've come from six generations of idle rich" usually don't.

So, for me, Toad reads much more as the latter – but if the myriad of adaptations are anything to go by, people have been reading Toad as either for as long as witw has been about

Let’s just say meeting a real life spawnie is an experience.

@nobleburn​ sent: Her heart wasn't beating anymore, and yet, she felt warm and her body moved. Beneath her clothing, smeared with blood and dirt as they were, the stab wounds inflicted upon her by Prince Lux no longer ached. Her sword was long gone, and her buckler. Inside her, some fire burned, some insolent cinder that refused to yield even as steel had pushed through her tender flesh and cleanly out the other side, even as she'd been discarded in an unmarked grave, branded some kind of hell-possessed beast, and forgotten.

Footsteps. Another person moving around in the dark, in this place where life didn't belong. Nikolette was gripped with both fear and malice as she swiveled around, a blade of fire appearing in her hand and lighting the path in front of her. "Take one more step," she cautioned, motioning towards the figure, "and I'll run you through." Was someone coming to check on her? To ensure the woman they called mad and wicked and uncontrolled was truly dead? (For Malkuth)

Sensibility and self-preservation would push anyone else away from the scene. A woman scorned, vitriol and ash dripping from her features as she turns a manifested weapon upon the curious witch. The embers cast off the flickering edge illuminate the witch’s face. Brief surprise quickly gives way to concern and reluctance to listen to the other. No, this was strange. Could she possibly be similar to her? It would be a reach... summoned weapons aren’t unheard of. But even the slimmest possibilities should be grasped, shouldn’t they? And besides, they looked badly hurt.

“Okay! Calm down, I’m giving you your space, but I’m not leaving. Not yet. You look really hurt, I’m surprised you’re even standing. You’re not undead are you? Was that your grave?” Rather forward questions for someone with dubious cause for being present themselves. This is where that self-preservation would come in handy. But the witch was investigating odd magic trails, following stories of monsters and creatures that could give her some semblance of answers to her own fate. Had she really found something useful after these past few years of meandering and simply trying to survive her second life.

“My name is Elijah, I’m a witch, and I don’t want to hurt you! Or fight for that matter. I think I’m just as confused as you are with what’s going on. Will you put that sword away?” A nod towards the weapon, a hopeful smile that this wouldn’t come to blows. She can feel a thrum in her chest already as emotion seeks an excuse to build, to call out to the other side of her mind. Scorched Girl would render this forest into ashes in moments. Embracing the warmth of flames... Elijah did not want that. “Lets talk a little bit instead!”
