		Francis, the youngest of their six children, was born late of this marriage, and when his brothers and sisters were already grown up.
		Francis, who was aware of his powers now and very ambitious, clearly had his work cut out, if he was to hold his reputation as a lecturer in philosophy and also pursue eminence in the school oftheology, the most exacting faculty in Paris.
