"Do you mean the great heavy books you brought me from the Cardinal? No."
"They contain a masterly refutation of the heresies of Erasmus. The Cardinal thought they might confirm you in the faith."
"I am happy to say my faith wants no confirming. I would rather have had some novels. You may tell him so, if he says anything to you about it.... Have you read the books yourself?"
"I have looked into them."
"Have you read Erasmus's books?"
"No."
"Well, when I attack controversy, I will read both sides."
"That will be rather dangerous."
"How can that be? Only one side can be right."
