I have been meaning to write this story for a while now. I just started writing a couple of weeks ago. I am going to try to write a chapter every week or two. Also, I am not sure if I like all the names of the characters, so they may be subject to change (as well as other parts of the story). I would appreciate any feedback.

You got my attention. More, I say, more! I liked the folk tale.
Did you write this comment, Dad? It doesn’t seem like something you would write, in particular the part where you say, “More, I say, more!” Sounds like something Audrey would write.
’twas I. Here’s my official seal to prove it: 🙂 😎 😉
Quite a story.
I like it so far. Well, Dad pointed out that it is hard to say Mister Lillerwebed, and perhaps Lillawebed would be suitable change. I thought, perhaps, you could say in your story that it used to be Lillerwebed, but it was too hard to pronounce so their ancestors changed it to Lillawebed. Just an idea…I second the motion of “More!”
I like it very much, Seth, and the names seem to fit quite well, I think. You always were good at making up interesting names. “Please, Sir, may I have some more?”
Audrey, if you pronounce “Lillerwebed” in a somewhat English accent, it sounds like “Lillahwebed” anyway – maybe the Lillerwebeds are Irish 🙂
