The Mouse Saki Theodoric Voler had been brought up, from infancy to the confines of middle age, by a fond mother whose chief solicitude had been to keep him screened from what she called the coarser realities of life. When she died she left Theodoric alone in a world that was as real as ever, and a good deal coarser than he considered it had any need to be. To a man of his temperament and upbringing even a simple railway journey was crammed with petty annoyances and minor discords, and as he settled himself down in a secondclass compartment one September morning he was conscious of ruffled feelings and general mental discomposure. He had been staying at a country vicarage, the inmates of which had been certainly neither brutal nor bacchanalian, but their supervision of the 10 domestic establishment had been of the lax order which invites disaster. The pony carriage that was to take him to the station had never been properly ordered, and when the moment for his departure drew near the handyman who should have produced the required article was nowhere to be found. In this emergency Theodoric, to his mute but very intense disgust, found himself obliged to collaborate with the vicar's daughter in the task of harnessing the pony, which necessitated groping about in an ill-lighted outhouse called a stable, and smelling very like one—except in patches where it smelt of mice. Without being actually afraid of mice, Theodoric classed them among the coarser incidents of life, and considered that Providence, with a little exercise of moral courage, might long ago have recognized that they were not indispensable, and have withdrawn 20 them from circulation. As the train glided out of the station Theodoric's nervous imagination accused himself of exhaling a weak odor of stableyard, and possibly of displaying a moldy straw or two on his usually well-brushed garments. Fortunately the only other occupant of the compartment, a lady of about the same age as himself, seemed inclined for slumber rather than scrutiny; the train was not due to stop till the terminus was reached, in about an hour's time, and the carriage was of the old-fashioned sort, that held no communication with a corridor, therefore no further traveling companions were likely to intrude on Theodoric's semi-privacy. And yet the train had scarcely attained its normal speed before he became reluctantly but vividly aware that he was not alone with the slumbering lady; he was not even alone in his own clothes. A 30 warm, creeping movement over his flesh betrayed the unwelcome and highly resented presence, unseen but poignant, of a strayed mouse, that had evidently dashed into its present retreat during the episode of the pony harnessing. Furtive stamps and shakes and wildly directed pinches failed to dislodge the intruder, whose motto, indeed, seemed to be Excelsior; and the lawful occupant of the clothes lay back against the cushions and endeavored rapidly to evolve some means for putting an end to the dual ownership. It was unthinkable that he should continue for the space of a whole hour in the horrible position of a Rowton House for vagrant mice (already his imagination had at least doubled the numbers of the alien invasion). On the other hand, nothing less drastic than partial disrobing would ease him of his tormentor, and to undress in the presence of a 40 lady, even for so laudable a purpose, was an idea that made his eartips tingle in a blush of abject shame. He had never been able to bring himself even to the mild exposure of open-work socks in the presence of the fair sex. And yet—the lady in this case was to all appearances soundly and securely asleep; the mouse, on the other hand, seemed to be trying to crowd a Wanderjahr into a few strenuous minutes. If there is any truth in the theory of transmigration, this particular mouse must certainly have been in a former state a member of the Alpine Club. Sometimes in its eagerness it lost its footing and slipped for half an inch or so; and then, in fright, or more probably temper, it bit. Theodoric was goaded into the most audacious undertaking of his life. Crimsoning to the hue of a 9 Name: ________________________ ID: A beetroot and keeping an agonized watch on his slumbering fellow-traveler, he swiftly 50 and noiselessly secured the ends of his railway-rug to the racks on either side of the carriage, so that a substantial curtain hung athwart the compartment. In the narrow dressing-room that he had thus improvised he proceeded with violent haste to extricate himself partially and the mouse entirely from the surrounding casings of tweed and halfwool. As the unraveled mouse gave a wild leap to the floor, the rug, slipping its fastening at either end, also came down with a heart-curdling flop, and almost simultaneously the awakened sleeper opened her eyes. With a movement almost quicker than the mouse's, Theodoric pounced on the rug, and hauled its ample folds chin-high over his dismantled person as he collapsed into the further corner of the carriage. The blood raced and beat in the veins of his neck and forehead, while he waited dumbly for 60 the communication-cord to be pulled. The lady, however, contented herself with a silent stare at her strangely muffled companion. How much had she seen, Theodoric queried to himself, and in any case what on earth must she think of his present posture? “I think I have caught a chill,” he ventured desperately. “Really, I'm sorry,” she replied. “I was just going to ask you if you would open this window.” “I fancy it's malaria,” he added, his teeth chattering slightly, as much from fright as from a desire to support his theory. “I've got some brandy in my hold-all, if you'll kindly reach it down for me,” said his companion. 70 “Not for worlds—I mean, I never take anything for it,” he assured her earnestly. “I suppose you caught it in the Tropics?” Theodoric, whose acquaintance with the Tropics was limited to an annual present of a chest of tea from an uncle in Ceylon, felt that even the malaria was slipping from him. Would it be possible, he wondered, to disclose the real state of affairs to her in small installments? “Are you afraid of mice?” he ventured, growing, if possible, more scarlet in the face. “Not unless they came in quantities, like those that ate up Bishop Hatto. Why do you ask?” “I had one crawling inside my clothes just now,” said Theodoric in a voice that 80 hardly seemed his own. “It was a most awkward situation.” “It must have been, if you wear your clothes at all tight,” she observed; “but mice have strange ideas of comfort.” “I had to get rid of it while you were asleep,” he continued; then, with a gulp, he added, “it was getting rid of it that brought me to—to this.” “Surely leaving off one small mouse wouldn't bring on a chill,” she exclaimed, with a levity that Theodoric accounted abominable. Evidently she had detected something of his predicament, and was enjoying his confusion. All the blood in his body seemed to have mobilized in one concentrated blush, and an agony of abasement, worse than a myriad mice, crept up and down over 10 Name: ________________________ ID: A 90 his soul. And then, as reflection began to assert itself, sheer terror took the place of humiliation. With every minute that passed the train was rushing nearer to the crowded and bustling terminus where dozens of prying eyes would be exchanged for the one paralyzing pair that watched him from the further corner of the carriage. There was one slender despairing chance, which the next few minutes must decide. His fellow-traveler might relapse into a blessed slumber. But as the minutes throbbed by that chance ebbed away. The furtive glance which Theodoric stole at her from time to time disclosed only an unwinking wakefulness. “I think we must be getting near now,” she presently observed. Theodoric had already noted with growing terror the recurring stacks of small, ugly 100 dwellings that heralded the journey's end. The words acted as a signal. Like a hunted beast breaking cover and dashing madly towards some other haven of momentary safety he threw aside his rug, and struggled frantically into his disheveled garments. He was conscious of dull suburban stations racing past the window, of a choking, hammering sensation in his throat and heart, and of an icy silence in that corner towards which he dared not look. Then as he sank back in his seat, clothed and almost delirious, the train slowed down to a final crawl, and the woman spoke. “Would you be so kind,” she asked, “as to get me a porter to put me into a cab? It's a shame to trouble you when you're feeling unwell, but being blind makes one so helpless at a railway station.” COMPREHENSION Directions Answer the following questions about “The Mouse.” ____ 73 From the description of Theodoric’s efforts to harness the pony, you can infer that he rarely A enjoys personal relationships B engages in physical labor C stays in luxurious places D travels without company ____ 74 The first plot complication occurs when Theodoric F leaves home after his mother’s death G travels to the station in a pony carriage H discovers a mouse in his clothing J notices the woman across from him ____ 75 Which statement best paraphrases the remark in parentheses in lines 37–38?

SHORT ANSWER 1 ANS: Responses will vary. Students should cite details that show Theodoric to be a complex character, unlike idealized romantic characters of earlier fiction. Students may cite two of the following details: a. The author explains that Theodoric’s mother spoiled him as a child, saying that his mother’s “chief solicitude had been to keep him screened from what she called the coarser realities of life” (line 3) The author also notes that Theodoric’s mother left him “in a world that was as real as ever, and a good deal coarser than he considered it had any need to be” (lines 3–4) These descriptions suggest that Theodoric is a complex and realistic character. b. The author writes, “To a man of his temperament and upbringing even a simple railway journey was crammed with petty annoyances and minor discords” (lines 4–6) This detail suggests that Theodoric is a complex and realistic character. c. The author describes Theodoric as being extremely shy, especially in front of women: “He had never been able to bring himself even to the mild exposure of open-work socks in the presence of the fair sex” (lines 41–42) This description suggests that Theodoric is a complex and realistic character.

Students may suggest that the train’s narrow compartment, the train’s proximity to a busy station, and the other passenger’s blindness all contribute to the story’s humorous mood. Students may support their responses with one of the following details: a. Theodoric fashions a “narrow dressing-room” by pinning up a makeshift curtain in the train compartment (lines 51–52) The fact that Theodoric must attempt to extricate the mouse while confined in a small space contributes to the story’s humorous mood. b. As he is standing undressed in the train compartment, Theodoric notices the “stacks of small, ugly dwellings that heralded the journey’s end” (lines 99–100) . The fact that the train is approaching a busy station contributes to the story’s humorous mood. c. In the final paragraph, the author reveals that the other passenger in the compartment is blind. The irony of this situation contributes to the story’s humorous mood. PTS: 1 REF: act0976aaf1800aeb4d_LM840 NOT: mllit12_2008 5 TOP: Benchmark Test 3 ID: A ESSAY 1 ANS: Responses will vary. Students may suggest that the theme of the story is “Worrying about the opinions of others can make you look like a fool.” Some students may note that the story is intended to mock Victorian readers and their obsession with social formalities. Students may cite some of the following details to support their responses: a. Early in his journey, Theodoric is concerned that he is “exhaling a weak odor of stableyard” and that he may be “displaying a moldy straw or two on his usually well-brushed garments” (lines 21–22) . His concern about how he looks and smells makes him appear foolish, a fact that supports the idea that the theme of the story is “Worrying about the opinions of others can make you look like a fool.” b. For Theodoric, the thought of undressing “in the presence of a lady, even for so laudable a purpose” makes “his eartips tingle in a blush of abject shame” (lines 40–41). Theodoric’s concern with being proper to the point of silliness supports the idea that the theme of the story is “Worrying about the opinions of others can make you look like a fool.” c. The author makes him seem ridiculous when Theodoric attempts to undress and remove the mouse: “With a movement almost quicker than the mouse’s, Theodoric pounced on the rug, and hauled its ample folds chin-high over his dismantled person as he collapsed into the further corner of the carriage” (lines 56–58) The author’s ridiculous portrayal of Theodoric’s behavior supports the idea that the theme of the story is “Worrying about the opinions of others can make you look like a fool.” PTS: 1 REF: act0976aaf1800aeb4d_LM841 NOT: mllit12_2008 6 TOP: Benchmark Test 3
