He flies his new plane like a madman and very nearly ends up getting Rat killed, not to mention almost crashing in the middle of a village. He receives no punishment for either thanks to the judge [[NiceJobFixingItVillain bungling his trial by trying to implicate him in dozens of other crimes,]] which leads to him walking away free.

Instead he tries to implicate Toad in just about [[FelonyMisdemeanor every crime imaginable]], including the murder of a man still alive and working in his (the Judge's) kitchen. Of course Toad's friends rally at the unfairness of this and he ends up saved at the last minute, much to the judge's anger.

!!''The Willows in Winter'' provides examples of the following tropes:

* BigDamnHeroes: Prenderghast when he appears to give evidence at Toad's trial.

** The chimney sweep, which Toad uses to his advantage.

* GondorCallsForAid: Badger and Rat..."ask" the residents of the Wild Wood to help them search for Mole. They agree after Rat promises them a few things and Badger threatens to clobber them if they don't.
* PaperThinDisguise: Toad, once again, dons one to escape the judge. This time he dresses up as a (human) chimney sweep and no one thinks it's odd the sweep lost a few feet in height and now has a green face!
* RememberTheNewGuy: Mole's nephew is a main character. He fits into the cast very well.
