Describe the Fox family's underground encounter with Mr. Badger.

When the three Small Foxes and Mr. Fox come upon Mr. Badger while they are tunneling, Mr. Badger is affectionate with Mr. Fox, calling him "Foxy" (46) and declaring that he is glad to see anyone at this moment. Mr. Badger tells Mr. Fox that all of the digging animals' homes have been destroyed by Boggis, Bunce, and Bean in their dogged pursuit of Mr. Fox.
