I've done it!

I've gone right outside, Miss Almond.

 What do you think of that?

A once trapped mouse, made to test his limits by one woman with the power of persuasion embedded in her posts.
 

I am a changed mouse-man.

Still shy, and more apt to read indoors than scale a mountain;

I am now more confident in going outdoors, and enjoying other people (from the safety of a park bench, that is).

I am also willing to commit the rest of my days to you, and your son, Miss Lula Almond.

Come on. Give an old mouse a chance!
