>I originally planned to have both Matilda *and Hortense* in the story,
[cut] But I was told that I could not use Hortense.

Sorry if I'm fussy, but how could it have been so?
Excluding the real appearances, I remember two *references* about Hortense.
in the "Sharpie of Culebra Cut" and "The Dream of a Lifetime". In both,
Donald shows (or better, you made Donald show) a quite good, nearly
nostalgic attitude towards his mother... attitude that is understandable
only if she's dead for a long time, not if she lives in another place,
without contacts with her family. In this case, Donald would have got vexed
in summoning the idea/memory of his mother.
Am I crazy?
