*'''Background''': Born to subsistence farmers in the beautiful countryside of Lancashire, Marian Dunsten passed her first test as an infant, shaking off pneumonia and living. Though it left her weakened, her life allowed no weakness. Her childhood ended when she was able to do farm work, and she did it all, indoors and out. She distinguished herself early as alert to opportunity, learning when to sneak into the forest miles away to poach game, and making lots of friends among the rolling hills. The latter was especially crucial, for the countryside had long harbored Lollards, Luddites, and other populist movements, and the Dunstens were in the thick of it as far as anyone could remember. They still had the copy of the Tyndale Bible that grandfather had made by hand from his grandfather's copy, carrying the heretical document forward in secret. Except for the enthusiastic adoption of Methodism, the populists had lain quiet, waiting for an opportune time to rise again. And so, Marian worked hard all day and then learned the family history and how to read and write from the old book at night.

A chance encounter with the Lady Lancashire and her retinue, who had happened to be discussing the need for a handmaiden for her daughter, led Marian to boldly and plainly recommend herself. Impressed by the girl's pluck and preternatural seriousness, the Lady gave her a trial. Some weeks later, to her family's consternation (until they heard her wage, which, for them, was decent money), she took the job. She impressed the Lancashires enough with her knowledge and initiative, if not her blunt speech--that the Lord took her with him to try for this odd time-machine venture. The Lord was sent home in a blizzard of platitudes, but after convincing the expedition's organizers of her survival and healing skills, Marian was encouraged to stay as the expedition's sherpa.
