Help with story.

I'm working on a story, and I need help.

Does anyone out there know of a fictional mouse, rat or other small creature with invisibility? I'd prefer the animal (not necessarily the fiction) to date from the 19th century, but I can fudge that if I have to.

Or (he said, demonstrating once again that you always get a better idea the moment you hit Send) there's an invisible mouse in John Masefield's The Midnight Folk, consequent of somebody storing a vial of invisibility potion in a mousehole for safe-keeping without realising how tempting it smells to rodents. And it's one of those books where animals tend to behave in a surprisingly human way when humans aren't about.

Still not 19th-century, though: 1927.

Hey, I've read that! Might be close enough; I can always say it was *written* in the 1920s, but was *set* in the 1900s.
