[PLUG] The Thin Line: A Moist Mouse Miss...

There was a sound of clapping, and I turned. Miss Eichelgruber had brought her needlework outside, and had been watching the match, evidently with keen interest. She had even brought some fruit juice and cookies.
I turned back, to find that Meadow had clambered out of the pond. A few things were rather evident. For one, the material in her servant's uniform, high-end as it was, was made of cotton and thus soaked up water rather well. For another, the uniform had, because of the immersion, lost all of its starch. Thirdly, and perhaps this was the hot weather, Meadow's uniform was very simple. Fourthly, and this related to the other three factors, it was very alarmingly clear from even a very brief glance (and my glance was brief) that Meadow was a young fur in peak health, indeed.
She put her paws behind her back, gave me an amused what-are-you-going-to-do- about-it look (I saw that on a second brief glance), and very sweetly asked me to hand her the cap portion of her uniform, which had fallen off. As I was looking down at my hooves at the moment, I could spot it quite easily on the ground, and I handed it to her without looking up.
She walked casually over to Miss Eichelgruber's chair, and curtsied.
"Please, ma'am, may I go and change?"
"Certainly, Meadow, but please don't track water on the carpets. You can remove those things here, and put them on the kitchen table."
"Yes, ma'am."
