The Sign of the Housemouse

The Sign of the Housemouse

A common charm amongst urban mice. It denotes constancy and stability and is sometimes given to those who yearn for foolish dreams as a reminder to keep their feet on the ground. This symbol was widespread in both the Skirtings and the Landings. Nel Poot was the last to receive it before the terrible events which drove the mice from Deptford.
