Sophie Mortimer is a shop owner in Mad Stoat that sells witch's hats and creates custom witches' hats on demand.

Sophie Mortimer
This young woman has a face like a sour crabapple.  For her age, there are many wrinkles, mostly in her forehead area.  Little beady eyes peek out from under a floppy fringe and her mouth seems to move even when she is silent.
She is in good shape.
She is standing.
Wearing : a pair of soft leather shoes, a sensible black cotton dress and a witch's pointy hat.

Ordering

You say 'order' in morporkian to start the ordering process. You can say 'stop' to stop ordering.

At each step except the first, the options are not presented unless you say 'list' to have a written list in morporkian presented to you. You have to say what you choose.

Sophie claims that all her hats are houseproof and that they're all proper witches' hats but that Granny only recognizes the black ones as such.

The hats produced probably all weigh 2/9 lb, but only cotton and rubber have been confirmed.

There are two types of hats that Sophie makes, which slightly alter the description of the item.
