"Can you keep a secret"

Hi Im pretty new to these forums but I wondering if anyone knows this;

Welcome to the Forum!

Also, I am moving this thread to The Wind in the Willows section where it might get more responses.

Post Secret

If anyone's still looking, the "secret" quote is Badger's revelation re: how to rescue Toad Hall.

It's "Now I'm going to tell you a great secret ..." (p.266)

(Only Badger knows about the secret underground route up into the Hall ... and he was told in confidence by his friend, the late Mr. Toad, Sr.)
