Quiet times stitching became rare as the word spread, and more and more visitors arrived. It was good to recognise familiar faces, as people like Duncan and his family came back for return visits. Duncan is a very fine shoe-maker, who brought a large shawl owned by his grandather to show to the rafoogars. They found some areas which needed darning, and offered to undertake its repair. When Duncan returned to collect the shawl he, in exchange, demonstrated some aspects of his craft, with the rafoogars watching attentively.
