Molly was a character in Smith of Wootton Major, one of the children who attended The Feast of Good Children during which the Fay-star was hidden within the Great Cake. The object from Faery was eaten by Smith Smithson.
Years later, Nokes, who had been the Master Cook at that feast, speculated about who had swallowed the Fay-star. He remembered Molly, the Miller's daughter, claiming that she had been greedy and bolted down her food, and later had become as fat as a sack. Alf, who had been Nokes' apprentice, disputed this. He noted that Molly had found two trinkets in her slice and therefore could not have eaten the star.[1]
