Toddles was DISTRAUGHT!

Sobbing and wailing and drawing all kinds of attention to his elfsie self, Toddles began rolling back and forth and sideways and upways and forthways some more while covering his large eyes with his sweaty palms.

"IT WAS HORRIBLE MISTER MASTER HEADMASTER!" Toddles wailed. "Toddles just does as Toddles tolds, sir. Toddles go into the forest like a good elfsies to collect the best of mushrooms for Argyle's soup for dinner, sir. Toddles have his basket almost filled all the way up he did, sir! Then Toddles sees...saws....sees...saws...HE SEES SOMETHING MOST FOUL TODDLES DOES SIR! TODDLES FEARS FOR TODDLES VERY LIFSIES HE DOES, SIR! RUNS AWAY TODDLES DOES!"
