The Anger of God (2014)
“Athelstan’s school, as Cranston jokingly referred to it, met two hours before noon twice a week so the friar could try to educate the young in reading, writing, and the basics of arithmetic and geometry.

Thomas was so deeply smitten by her, he hardly bothered even to glance in Athelstan’s direction.MoreLess
