Wherever the Marcher Stuarts set up their camp, the Mistress is quick to seize an opportunity to sport her wares. Indeed she does make a tidy profit from her labours. Not only will she teach the local populace how to weave, but, without seeming to try, she doth then sell them the wherewithal to practice the craft. Unfortunately Mistress Marion is somewhat hampered by her sister, Mistress Grotte, who is quite unseemly in her manners and lacks the decorum of Mistress Marion. To see the two of them together, it is hard to believe that they issued from the same parentage. However, there is one way in which they are alike. They both have the extraordinary knack of earning money. Many a puzzled look passes upon the faces of folks who have just bought something completely useless from them...... and they can't remember why they purchased it in the first place. There is something quite eerie about them both. What power they seem to possess ! Marion is a retired teacher. 
Mistress Marion used to work at Grantbury Manor with Mistress Jennie, but alas, that grand house is no more and the Mistress now seems to spend most of her time weaving upon 5 sticks. Her work grows remarkably quickly and she is able to provide the Marcher Stuarts with pouches, shawls, hats, blankets and other warm items.
