Day 16
April 12

After much duration, we have finally exited the woods. Soon we came to a small town, which we all eagerly decided to stay in for the night. I quickly separated myself from the miller and the reeve, both of whom are scoundrels and I will never associate with them again. I browsed the local market and found there many delightful shops. I bought a nice replacement for my ruined stockings, a hair comb, and a new headscarf. While I was there I heard other ladies gossiping in their lively ways. This afternoon of leisure has made me a bit homesick.
