Mind the fire, and pull that settle closer, for the snow has the shutters shut tight and I have a long tale in me yet. You'll have heard of the mouse who kept the larder at the Lantern, back when the pass was still cut by carts? Her name was Tilda Pennock, though nobody called her anything but Mouse. She had ears as round as farthings and a red spotted ribbon she tied the same way every morning, two loops and a knot.

Tilda worked beside the tinsmith, Ambrose Quill, who scratched swirling patterns into the pewter spoons with a needle no thicker than a hair. She watched his hands for seasons. At night, when the kitchen was dark, she copied those curls onto the flour sacks with a charred stick, curls thick as bracken, and in the middle of each she pressed two hearts. One was for the cook, who had buttered her bread when no one else would, and the other was for the stable boy, who whistled to keep the horses calm.

Then came the winter the drifts buried the road to Harrow. A coach limped in with a stranger in a grey coat who wanted the last loaf and a room with a lock. He counted the spoons on the dresser and found the sacks in the flour room. He held one up to the lamp and said he would pay gold for the hand that made it. The cook only shrugged and said the only one who knew where she kept her ribbons was the mouse, and the mouse had gone down to the cellar to see to the cider.

The stranger went down after her. He never came up, but the door creaked open at dawn, and beside the step lay the grey coat, folded neatly, with a single spoon laid on top, its bowl scratched with two small hearts. The thaw came a week later and the coach went on without him. The ribbon still hangs on the nail above the hearth, and if you look close you'll see the knot is always tied the same way.
