Annie

"Ferryman if you please, take me across the raging seas, for a few gems, I take your boat, I cannot swim, I cannot float!!"

- singing the Ferryman's Song

Annie is a wannie working as Mr. Lemoine's housemaid. She lives with her only son in a small house in the Village of the Wannies.

Twinsen has to go to other islands in the under-gas. Not knowing how to contact the ferryman, he goes to the village of the wannies, where the Priest tells him to ask his housemaid about it. Twinsen then goes to Annie, who teaches him the Ferryman's Song, which is required to call the ferryman.

Hitting Annie results in her hitting Twinsen back with her broom.
