Marrit, the farmer
A wiry frog in a green smock and a red scarf, a straw hat, a pitchfork she holds like a sceptre.
Found in Harrowfield Farms.
One, two, three... where was I. One.
Words they answer to
Greet them with hi, then say any of these: wheel food name job scarecrows rook river hat hobb nell pell rain. Words in gold in what they say are worth asking about too.
A day in their life
Marrit keeps to the world's one clock, the same for everyone. If you can't find them, try another hour.
- At dawn Marrit minds the gate, counts the washing and walks the field path.
- By day Marrit reaps wheat, gleans the stubble, mends a scarecrow, shoos birds off a scarecrow, counts the washing and walks the field path.
- At dusk Marrit counts the washing, minds the gate and sits a while.
- At night Marrit sleeps and counts the washing.
- In the rain Marrit counts the scarecrows in the rain and counts the washing.
