The Reformation Trail Series # 3 - The Roman Students: A Tale of the Renaissance

Book Description:

Raymond felt the force of the last argument. Besides, he could not contend the point; his schoolfellow had him in his power. A little water from the crystal flask that lay on the table, a fine white handkerchief from the looms of Cambray, and a pair of gentle, firm, skillful hands soon accomplished the task. Theodore's words sometimes missed their aim and hurt where they where meant to heal, his fingers never. Their very form - long, slender, sensitive - evidenced at once fineness of perception and exquisite dexterity.
