Chapter 2: How does Jeanne plan to support the poor and elderly?
They want these. Please be careful moving that bed frame, monsieur. It's fragile. We're always careful, madame. We appreciate your help. Oh, Zhen, after all our hard work cleaning up this place, we're finally moving in!
God is good, Fengsheng. Zhen, where should I put this cooking pot? Set it on the table for now, Marie. Thank you. Where's Madeleine?
Bringing in the linens. I'm off to the kitchen. I want to make sure everything's put in the right place. But I'm still worried, Zhen. This place is perfect, but what if we can't pay for it?
What if— Excuse me. Yes? Is Madame Zhen Zhugan here? That's Zhen. I'll be in the kitchen. How can I help you? My name is Brother Remy. I belong to the Brothers of St. John of God.
Oh yes, I've heard of your order.

Chapter 3: What is the significance of the begging basket in Jeanne's mission?
You work with the sick. Please, come in.
Thank you. We've heard about your work as well. I see you're just moving in.
Thanks to the good God who has provided a larger home, now we'll be able to take in more poor elderly who need us.
Have you figured out a way to pay the rent, how to clothe and feed everyone?
We trust in the Lord's providence, as I'm sure you do.
We do. In fact, it's the Lord who sent me here to give you this.
That's a very large basket.
Oh, it has to be large. It's a begging basket. This is the way we take care of all of our expenses. People give us food, clothing, money, whatever they can spare to help the sick. The Lord never fails to fill it.
A begging basket. I like that. Thank you, Brother Remy. What do you want? We feed and clothe the elderly poor. I wonder if you could... Can anyone spare food for the poor? Old clothing? Money, if you have it?

Chapter 4: How does faith play a role in Jeanne's endeavors?
Here, take this.
That's very generous of you, monsieur. May the Lord continue to bless you as you bless others. Zhen! Your basket is overflowing! It was a good day! Thanks be to God! We have company? That new priest, Father Lepayur. Really? I wonder what he wants. Father Lepayur, what a nice surprise.
Your new home is perfect, Jen. Large enough for everyone.
Yes, we love it.
Virginie and Fanchon were just telling me how you go begging every day.
It's not what I'd planned on, but the good God has His own plans. Today, thankfully, people were exceptionally generous. May the Lord be praised.
Yes, it seems that more and more people in Saint-Servant are hearing about what you're doing. Which is why I'm here. Our curé has assigned me to be your advisor.
Our advisor?
Yes. He and I think what you're doing is worthy of the Church's approval and help.

Chapter 5: What obstacles does Jeanne encounter while begging for help?
Sorry I'm late.
That's all right, Father. Let me take your coat.
Thank you, Madeline. Hello, everyone. It's good to see you all again.
It's good to see you, Father. Please, have a seat. What was it you wanted to discuss?
Forming a society.
A society?
Yes. First of all, the number of poor elderly your housing continues to grow. Thanks to the good God. Second, I'm hearing from young women who tell me they'd like to help the five of you take care of them.
Wonderful!
It is, Marie. But because of these two factors, Monseigneur Boucher and I feel that we need to put in writing the way of life you envision for your members. Is that necessary? In our opinion, it is. A formal organization? That would be best. Guidelines must be drawn up and a name must be decided on. What would you like to call yourselves?

Chapter 6: How do the townspeople react to Jeanne's requests for aid?
This is all so sudden, Father. We need time to think it over.
Begin thinking about your religious names as well.
You mean, as in an order?
Yes, Virginie. And a superior must be elected.
Absolutely. There's no question. That's easy. Our superior would be Zhen. I completely agree. Wait a minute. We haven't finished discussing this. Zhen Zhugan, you're the most humble person I know. But if we're going to begin a congregation, an order, you'll be our superior because none of this would have happened without you. Well said. None of us and none of our poor would be here without you.
But... No buts, Zhen. You have just become our superior.
