 Mrs. Tittlemouse is a " most terribly tidy little mouse always sweeping and dusting the soft sandy floors " in the " yards and yards " of passages and storerooms , nut @-@ cellars , and seed @-@ cellars in her " funny house " amongst the roots of a hedge . She has a kitchen , a parlour , a pantry , a larder , and a bedroom where she keeps her dust @-@ pan and brush next to her little box bed . She tries to keep her house tidy , but insect intruders leave dirty footprints on the floors and all sorts of messes about the place .
