Raistlin - was sound asleep, curled up with her head resting

adoringly on the big man's foot. Caramon himself was sitting

quietly now, his eyes closed, humming a song to himself. Occa-

sionally he would cough, and once he demanded in a loud

voice that Tas bring him his spellbook so that he could study his

magic. But he seemed peaceful enough. Tas hoped he would

soon dose and sleep off the effects of the dwarf spirits.
