    'None of That' concerns  itself with the nature of desire. The man in the story is no more than an animal with base instincts but is attractive to women. The woman looks for something deeper, with  imagination but in the end is brought down by the more instinctive man. Lawrence again seems to be saying that a woman cannot exist beyond the control of a man, however crude and can only bring unhappiness on herself if she tries to live on her own terms.

    Originally published in 1908 by British novelist Kenneth Grahame, The Wind in the Willows has become one of the most beloved and admired classics of children's literature. The novel follows the adventures of the mild-mannered Mole and his friend Rat, who emerge from their winter's slumber to explore the Springtime world, encountering the sedate and businesslike Badger as well as the wild and impulsive Mr. Toad of Toad Hall, who cannot seem to avoid mishaps and run-ins with the police.  At times a charming, pastoral story of life in the British countryside and a rollicking adventure with car chases and fast-paced action, The Wind in the Willows never fails to be mentioned among the finest children's books of all time, adapted countless times for the stage and screen.  It is presented here in its unabridged and original format.
