“Wow!”

They came to the dogleg where George Street met Hill Street. The post office was on the corner. The sandwich bar was only a little farther down the road, just by the roundabout that led to Richmond Bridge.

The rain eased as they walked along. The dark clouds slid away, making way for a lighter layer that had an almost pearly sheen to it.

“The rain looks like harp strings,” Tania said, gazing toward the white, stone-built bridge. “Millions of harp strings strung between the earth and the sky. Do you have weather like this in Faerie? It’s always been blue skies and sunshine when I’ve been there.”

“We have all kinds of weather. We have storms like you wouldn’t believe, with thunder and lightning and rain that falls so heavily that the river can rise two or three feet in one day. And in the winter there are winds from the north that can freeze the sap in an oak tree, and snow that lies across the land like a deep white ocean. And on some nights in the depths of midwinter the cold is so intense that you can hear a sound—a whisper—that is like the stars frosting over.” He smiled. “On nights like that the best place to be is in a warm room in front of a blazing fire of yew logs.”

Tania gazed at him. Would she ever sit with him on a winter’s night and watch the yew flames crackle and dance?

He gave a wry smile. “But for now it is a rainy summer’s day in Richmond, and we have to decide where to look first.”
