The fine sunny weather lasted only two days, just long enough for everyone's clothing to dry out, before another gray and rainy day dawned. The rain fell steadily through the morning and early afternoon. Then the wind shifted, and the rain became a fine mist. The air was still warm, however, and the mist felt rather refreshing on Peony's face. By nightfall, even it had stopped, and the clouds were drifting away as the company stopped to camp.
