There were two problems with this: first, of course, Raimund knew that the blood-soaked clothes came from the unsolved murder of a jeweller four years earlier, a crime that Arvid was guilty of. Secondly, Arvid had not seen the boy since that bloody night in 1505. Back then the boy had been ten years old; now he would be fourteen and probably more man than boy.

When we mess things up, then we shouldn't blame Him and try to make ourselves feel better by contending that it's what He wanted.”
― Catherine Marshall, Christy
