The Grand Masquerade (The Bold Women Series book 4)
“There was even a small nook by the window with old wing back chairs for reading.
Maxime lectured on the history of Rome and discussed several of the emperors, but Sydnee was not interested in this lesson. She was curious about the instrument Tristan was using to write. He sat at a wooden desk scratching figures onto paper dipping a sharp object into an ink pot. He used the elegant bone handled instrument to produce exquisitely beautiful sweeping and flowing figures on paper. She loved not ...only his writing but the industrious sound of the scratching and the smell of the ink.
Latin was the next lesson Maxime taught. This subject caught Sydnee's attention immediately. She recognized many of the words and was pleased that she could understand some of the language even though she did not know why the words were familiar.
Maxime paid no attention to Sydnee at all, focusing instead on young Tristan. A very strict teacher with high expectations, Maxime had no tolerance for mediocrity.MoreLess
