ANST - Eldern XXI

[Celeste de Montomorency]

I don't know.  When i joined the SCA they were already calling the children 
smalls. I think it's cute and I've heard it used in other than my own Barony 
so it stuck. I've heard them referred to as halflings in other groups and I 
like the term smalls better.  They don't seem to mind.
