Description

Character study: Lorna Elswint, from 'Riddley Walker'

Lorna is something of a shaman. She's the oldest of their tribe (I'm imagining that isn't very old), a seer/diviner (they call it 'telling') and she starts Riddley on his wanderings'

'I said, "All this what you jus ben telling be that a tel for me?"

'She larft then she said, "Riddley there aint nothing what aint a tel for you. The wind in the nite the dus on the road even the leases stoan you kick a long in front of you. Even the shadder of that leases stoan roaling on or stanning stil its all telling."'

from ch1, Riddley Walker by Russell Hoban
