About

Keeps a roll four years old — the dry sheds' count at Threap. chapter 8 draws the division of labour on the page: "Second shed's bags. Third shed's cases.

Terse, grief anchored and dated (lost four of her own three days before chapter 22. Runs a row of bags while she works, "goes down the bay from bag to bag saying the name and waiting for the head to come up before she said the next one" (chapter 23), as currently attributed to Kesta but functionally Herrick's method if the reassignment holds).
