Her Grace Willow the Wisp was sitting at Ansteorra 40th year awaiting court. I've seen her around from time to time but don't know her well. She beckoned me to come talk with her. Her Grace noted my Thistle and we began discussing courtly dance. She thanked me for visiting with her and gave me one of the bracelets she made with a thistle in the center.

Here I spoke with Mistress Willow de Wisp. I must make an aside here. Anybody I’m likely to mention probably went on to considerably grander titles, but peers were a scarce commodity at that time. Willow was very much a standout person. We talked about the war between the Ardh Duin and the Clan Cadal, she being the chieftain of the latter group.

Mistress Willow had and still has great command of almost any social setting. She can go from glorious bombast to genuine concern in an instant.
