9* ADayInTheLimelight: For Mrs. Tittlemouse, who had a key role in "Literature/TheTaleOfTheFlopsyBunnies."
10* {{Foil}}: Lazy slob Mr. Jackson for industrious neatnik Mrs. Tittlemouse.
11* NeatFreak: Mrs. Tittlemouse.
12* SacredHospitality: Mrs. Tittlemouse seems to believe in it, given how polite (and ineffectual) she is when trying to get uninvited guests to go away. By the end of the story, however, she puts her foot down.
13* SpidersAreScary: Averted — in this story, the spider is just a mild nuisance, albeit a polite one.
14* TheThingThatWouldNotLeave: Mr. Jackson, the toad. Eventually Mrs. Tittlemouse gets so fed up with him that she [[spoiler: makes her doorway too small for him to get in. By the end, she is fine with passing him honeydew, and he doesn't mind sitting outside to drink.]]
