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.)
