TRTR(I.3) I See That Hand

[Richard Ryan]

Wyatt's has a defense-reaction to any attention paid to his hands.
This is inherited from his father: Rev.  Gwyon is regularly caught
putting his hands behind his back as though he's got a murder weapon
in them.   The hand of the artist (the artist's "signature") is also
the "hand of fate."  Which grip or grasp the Gwyons are apparently
desperate to elude.
