Unfazed by the cold nights in the capital which can freeze water into stone and chill the bones of any who cannot afford the hearth, one of the theologians of the scholasticate has made a request for a pair of fingerless gloves weaved from ramie cloth. When I inquired as to why he would request such a thin material, he said it would allow his finger tips to gingerly touch the words of the pages of the holy book, the guidance of which would surely keep him warm. Surely you could grant the request of one so admirable in the dedication to his study of the only text worth understanding in this world.
