Memories
Mistress Thea shared a piece of Edwinna's advice: "If you're not weaving mistakes, you're not weaving enough."
While I was still Seneschal of the Canton of Gallavally, Edwinna made an appearance at one of our Cantonal meetings. She was quiet and reserved. After a few meetings more, the Cantonal office of Arts officer came open and she volunteered. I thought she was a newcomer. I began to explain the duties of the office and those things that I thought that might be difficult for a newcomer to deal with. She smiled warmly and allowed me to finish. She then introduced herself with full titles, and said, "I think I understand the duties of an Arts Officer." Well, of course she did and I gave her the office, and she performed splendidly. She never seemed to make a big fuss about being one of the only Peers in our Canton, or being a Peer at all. She just personified the best of what a Peer should be, quietly and with grace. ~ Eadwynne of Runedun
