I could not stop my tail from twitching nervously as I stared into the hole.  To a human, it might not have been very big but to a mouse it was a veritable cavern.  And it was known to harbor snakes.  Certainly there are no venomous snakes in England but that is of little comfort when one is a snake’s natural prey species.  Yet it was this very hole that Basil had gone into alone and presumably unarmed.

It was this thought that finally gave me the courage to draw and cock my revolver and venture into the literal snake-pit.
