# Thomasina Tittlemouse — Short Fiction character guide

> Thomasina Tittlemouse in Short Fiction by Beatrix Potter.

**Role:** supporting

**Also known as:** Mrs. Tittlemouse, Mrs. Tittlemouse Nellie, Mrs. Thomasina Tittlemouse

**First appearance:** 0015-the-tale-of-mrs-tittlemouse

## Snapshot

A wood-mouse whose spotless home is her pride, forever besieged by visitors who track in moss, honey, and chaos.

## Who they are

Mrs. Tittlemouse keeps her sandy passage, pantry, and nut-cellar in scrupulous order, and she expects the same of everyone who crosses her threshold. Her compulsion for tidiness collides with the appetites of uninvited guests—most of all the smiling Mr. Jackson, who squeezes through her rooms hunting honey and leaving wet footprints behind. Her mounting exasperation, and the spring cleaning she undertakes afterward, give the tale its comic engine and its quiet triumph.
