I loved this story! I could see it in my mind as clearly as if it had actually already happened on the show. Cute, funny, and well written. Thanks so much for such an enjoyable story!

Somehow I missed this when it was first posted. This is splendid! I'd love to read more of young William's adventures.

Adorable

Oh, this was lovely- William is such a lovely little boy! Thanks so much for sharing!

THIS. IS. AMAZING. I loved every bit. I was hanging on every word. Fellowes really needs to have a sit-down with you sometime soon.

That was adorable! Was William named after the first William? If he was he'll be brilliant when that livery fits :P

This story was adorable :) well done

This is wonderful!

Oh my god. I absolutely love this story! William is so cute! I love his interview haha. Oh my goodness this was such a good story. I'm grinning from ear to ear. I really hope the bates' have a little William. That would be perfect! :)
