Quote 4 of 89

Next to his house was a piece of broken board which had:
"TRESPASSERS W" on it.  When Christopher Robin asked Piglet what it
meant he said it was his grandfather's name, and had been in the
family for a long time.  Christopher Robin said you _couldn't_ be
called Trespassers W, and Piglet said you could, because his
grandfather was, and it was short for Trespassers Will, which was
short for Trespassers William.

A strange sort of name
		   Winnie-the-Pooh, p. 30
