*laughs* Sounds like a guaranteed hit! In one book, a pair of Italian opera singers, Mozzarella and Parmesan, come visiting, and cause much consternation. The problem with living inside a piano is that your peace is periodically disturbed by an earth-shaking cacophony when the humans of the house do their piano practice, so the mice play out a polite charade of This Is Not Happening. They just drink a lot of tea, and talk very loudly and doggedly about what delightful weather they're having nowadays. The Italians, though, not only talk about the music, but insist on singing along to it, which is Not Done At All.
Even more troublesome, though, is the brash American visitor, Monterey Jack, who rides roughshod over all their customs, and briefly leads the younger mice into all sorts of dreadful scrapes - scrapes for which he then denies all responsibility.
