And then the rain came. Not the light, summer rain that falls on warm breezes or the gentle precipitation that refreshes on hot, humid days. This rain drove down in torrential sheets that obliterated the horizon. This was the third day of bad weather. The chateaux stood grim and stark against the grey morning clouds and the fruit orchards that surrounded...
