What is the meaning of this sentence?

I read a sentence in the book Wind in the Willows: "Something up above was calling him imperiously, and he made for the steep little tunnel which answered in his case to the graveled carriage-drive..." What is the meaning of "which answered in his case to"? Thanks!
