Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Adventures of Francois: Foundling, Thief, Juggler, and Fencing Master
The dull round of matins and vespers, the routine of lessons, the silent refectory meals, went on year after year with little variation. The boy Francois simply accepted them as did the rest; but, unlike some of his comrades, he found food for mirth, silent, gentle, or boisterous, where no other saw cause for amusement.
