 The fastidious little mouse spends a fortnight spring cleaning . She rubs the furniture with beeswax and polishes her little tin spoons , then holds a party for five other little wood @-@ mice wearing their Regency finery . Mr. Jackson attends but is forced to sit outside because Mrs. Tittlemouse has narrowed her door . He takes no offence at being excluded from the parlour . Acorn @-@ <unk> of honeydew are passed through the window to him and he toasts Mrs. Tittlemouse 's good health .
