Hendreary's Sons

Hendreary's and Lupy's sons, Timmis's older brothers, appear in The Borrowers Afield and The Borrowers Afloat, and are mentioned in ''The Borrowers Avenged. ''They are unnamed in the books.

In The Borrowers Afloat, it is said that they were too young to remember living in the drawing room of Firbank Hall. Their family moved to a badger's set and eventually to the gamekeeper's cottage. At some point, "Hendreary's second boy" had a pet cockroach, kept in a tea strainer.

They act churlish and shy around the Clocks, but help their father the majority of the time with borrowing. After they leave the cottage, they and Eggletina move out on their own and return to the badger's set.

Continuity Errors
There is some confusion over Hendreary's family tree. In The Borrowers, Hendreary and Lupy have four sons together: two from Hendreary's first marriage and two from Lupy's, and Hendreary also has a daughter named Eggletina. However, later books show them with a total of only three sons, and the only boy named is the youngest,  Timmis.

In Other Media
In The Return of the Borrowers, the boys are named Ditchley and Ilrick. They live on their own and frequently bring borrowings home to their parents. Ditchley is a cruel prankster, and not as good at borrowing as Pod is. The two young men trap Pod and Homily inside a kettle as a joke, which goes too far.
