Fidget From The Great Mouse Detective Novels & Stories

Jonathan Something was bothering my little mouse and I have no idea what. Unlike all the other times this time I couldn’t tell what was going on inside that mind of hers. She was unusually quiet and even her smiles were strained. And I didn’t like that. I hated to see even a strain on her delicate brow.

I’m just lying on my bed thinking of different ways to torture Andy the moment the opportunity arises, when I hear something scurrying. Knowing this may be a once in a lifetime chance, I fly out of the bed and glance around for the source until I find a mouse hiding in the corner. There isn't much time for me to get to it before it inevitably runs off in fear. I quickly ask if it’ll do me a favor. It shakes its head yes. Have you seen a dagger about yay long? I ask holding my hands several inches apart.

"I didn't expect you to be dressing like that!" Then, he chuckled and flicked her cat ears. "Who are you supposed to be? The mouse from Ratatouille?" "Are you an idiot?" Felicity angrily grabbed her tail and swung it in front of Vermont's face. "I'm a cat! A cat!" Vermont touched the tail; it felt surprisingly soft. Felicity noticed his lowered gaze and made a playful "meow." Just as Vermont was thinking about what to say to Felicity, he immediately paused when he heard that "meow." Then, he lifted his gaze at her.

His eyes dropped to my nervous hands fiddling together in front of my pants. He smirked. “Are you hard, little mouse?”

For a moment, I couldn't wrap my head around the situation. Mr. Lowry wasn't done, but Nathan ran over to us and pulled Mr. Lowry behind him. With feigned indignation and a hurt expression, Nathan said, "Caleb, I really don't know why you're asking me that. "Have you forgotten that I told you how I saw from the murderer's perspective that he'd organized the hundred-dollar bills in the victim's wallet by their serial numbers after he committed the crime? That's how I was able to determine the murderer suffers from severe obsessive compulsive disorder."
