'Oswald
should have run but his legs wouldn't respond. He stayed there
and whimpered, stricken and frozen. Through a rent in the
cloth he saw Piccadilly's urgent face calling him, but it
was no use. He was rooted to the spot.'
From
The Dark Portal

A year after
his friends Arthur and Audrey, Oswald Chitter was born on
the 11th of June to Arabel and Jacob. Although no one pays
any attention to the ridiculous claims of the Rat
Zodiac, Master Oswald was a very frail and sickly albino
runt.

Always
a sensitive youngster, he was prone to illness and fussed over
by his mother a great deal. She made him wear scarves and gloves
even on warm days, much to his embarassment. Oswald's great
talent was in the art of dowsing. By using a forked hazel twig,
he could find lost objects.
In this way he was able to venture into the dark, dangerous
sewers to recover Audrey's mousebrass. |

During
the terrible year when Jupiter was deposed, the albino mouse
proved his worth many times. He was however doomed to eternal
dark and never came of age.

Oswald
Chitter, hero of that desperate time was posthumously awarded
the mousebrass signifying courage and bravery by the Green Mouse
himself. |
