Brutal Honesty: Alf is diplomatic with Nokes during his apprenticeship, but after Nokes retires he tells him what a vain, lazy bastard he thinks he actually is. |

comment |
Glowing Flora: On one of his visits to the land of Faery, Smith dances with a beautiful maiden who tucks a flower behind his ear. When he returns to Wootton Major he finds that the flower gives off a soft luminescence and never seems to wilt. |

| Smith of Wootton Major / int_4e07ef21 |
comment |
Acid Reflux Nightmare: Nokes dismisses his meeting with the Faery King as this, which ironically grants his wish of becoming thinner, since he's afraid to eat anything that might bring a recurrence. |

Establishing Character Moment |
| Smith of Wootton Major / int_7febc23b |
comment |
Establishing Character Moment: At age nine, Smith gives the token he found in the Twenty-Four Cake to Nell because he feels sorry for her not finding one. This also probably illustrates why he was chosen for the star. |

comment |
The Fair Folk: The Land of Faery is dangerous even to Smith; at one point when he ventures into forbidden territory a storm drives him out. However, the elves that he meets are basically benign. |

Our Fairies Are Different |
| Smith of Wootton Major / int_90d5b651 |
comment |
Our Fairies Are Different: Discussed. Nokes has a typical modern view of fairies as fictional little sprites, which, this being Tolkien's verse, is far from the reality. However, the Faery Queen appreciates being remembered in some form. |
