"You are not keeping a mouse in this house," was what they said.

Suddenly he jumped up from his chair. Through the branches, he peered out across the lawn.

"OK, so I can't keep a mouse in that house," he said excitedly, "but what abut in this house? Why not keep it here, in my tree-house? They would never know I had a mouse. I could make a nice cage for it and I could smuggle food up to it. We'd have a lovely time together, me and my secret mouse!"
