The gaoler’s daughter takes over guarding Toad from her father when Toad is in prison. She’s a pretty and kind young woman who loves animals as pets, though she doesn’t share this with Toad. Eventually, she develops sympathy for Toad and helps him escape by devising a plan with her washerwoman aunt. Later, when Toad is reinstalled at Toad Hall, he sends the gaoler’s daughter a beautiful gold and pearl locket.
