I have been asked to tell the tale o’ my life thus far. I am
Pandora Wolf, my father is o’ Scottish birth. He met and married my
mother while on a pilgrimage in Greece. A few months after their
return to our highland home my mother gave birth with me. Some say I
suffered ill affects from her travels both over land and sea while
still carrying me. I don’t see what all the fuss is about,
just cause I gets lost now and then and forgets me place!
We, my family and me, went to port one day to meet my mum’s family
in from Greece. Well I got board waiting and started looking around
and before I knew it, well it was dark and I was lost, again! Whilst
I was at the docks I saw this beautiful ship called Neptune’s Fury
and some o’ the most beautiful men came off o’ her. Well I happened
to run into a couple o’ those men again and I asked if they could
take me someplace safe for the night till I could find my mum again.
They took me to Mistress Katie’s; I still remember being awed by the
lovely red lantern outside her house.
Mistress Katie took me in, but I never did manage to find my mum
again. I started working for Mistress, cooking & cleaning then
serving her guests. Funny they were mostly men. Assisting the
seamstress and writing letters for the girls who couldn’t, then
eventually finding my way into Mistress Katie's true business.
This work suites me, I make Mistress Katie happy and she lets me
have most of my days to myself to wander where I want, just as long
as I always keep a map on me so’s I can find my way home! She does
ask that if ye find me wandering alone in the shire that you return
me to the Pirates of Rogues Cove, where I belong!
