Still more juvenilia: “Bill ‘Coon’ and the Giant Mole” (around age 11), “Phooey to Handwriting!” (age 12), and less juvenilely, “The Invisible Net” (some time in my late 20s).

Smith of Wootton Major?
Nope, it’s a reference to the line “voles out of holes, moths on the wing” in “The Sea-Bell” (one of the poems in The Adventures of Tom Bombadil).
