Thanks! I had a *lot* of fun writing this piece. He's such a bully, but he's intelligent enough to get out of tight situations he -obviously- always causes. Hehehe...Glad you liked it!

Wow, this was excellent. Especially:

He stomped his foot, apparently defeated, when he looked above him.

The rafters.

I think that was a brilliant way to end it; you left us with a clear image of how everything was going to pan out. The characterisations of Billy, Mrs Cole and (of course) Tom were all spot on, IMO. D'you mind if I friend you?

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it! I think I'll write more about his years at the orphanage. And sure you can friend me. The more the merrier. :)

I always wondered about the rabbit incident! You make everything so clear and believable; Tom is very IC. I also love the sketch of littletoms, especially the old-fashioned clothing and pseudo-innocent look. Great work on both!

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it :) This was my first Tom fic.
