“We have a small problem,” Mouselet squeaked urgently.

“Just a trifle!” Aemelia Vole added.

Holmes and Watson, who had been checking out the duke’s library, came rushing into the dining room.

“I wouldn’t really call that a trifle,” Watson exclaimed.

“At least, not any more,” Holmes agreed.

There, in the middle of a large bowl of cream-covered dessert was the Ferret, spread-ferreted.

“Watson, hide him in your bag!” Holmes ordered.

“He’ll be all sticky,” Watson objected.

“Use one of the napkins,” Mouselet squeaked.

Watson picked up the Ferret, while Holmes did his best to smooth the cream.

“Quick, let’s go!”

Ah ha. "Not anymore!" Made me laugh.

Thank you. When I came up with that line, I knew I had to write the drabble :)

I'm very taken with "spread-ferreted" ^____^

Btw, this YouTube video may appeal to you (or Mouselet anyway) - it's a muizenhuis (mouse house) in the public library in Amsterdam ^__^

Thank you. I'm sure you can imagine it!

Mouselet would love the mouse house.
