This is probably thread creep, but in the same vein.
Sheila and I were visiting a stately home in Norfolk (I Think), and the guide drew attention to a porcelain swan, manufactured by the Meissen factory. On the same table were two little , cheap, pottery figures of Jerry (of Tom and Jerry) and Speedy Gonzales.
Someone asked about them, and the guide explained that the owner had found her small grand-daughter searching round the table one day, and when she asked what she was looking for, she said 'The Mice'.
'I heard Mrs Walker telling some visitors to make sure they saw the mice and swan. I can see the swan but where are the mice?'
Naturally, they appeared the next day!
