Pedetentous adj. proceeding gradually or cautiously.

The day was dull and grey; a dank peerl descended on the village. Across a field walked a peripatetic stranger. Above him the sun broke through the clouds, leaving in his wake a canopy of blue. Flowers unfurled their showy petals as he passed. Birds sang from the treetops and butterflies fluttered and frolicked in the warmth of golden sunbeams.

He climbed a gate then peregrinated into the village. Suddenly all around was bathed in sunlight. A fluffy kitten weaved between his feet as he made his pedetentous way along the narrow cobbled street. As he crossed the stream the rippling water sparkled, silver fish leapt and dived. A white swan glided past a bed of waving golden reeds then swam 'twixt lily pads as one by one their delicate pink flowers burst open.

The astonished villagers watched as he walked away; he  stopped but briefly to look over his shoulder and smile before  continuing on his way.
