Then you should see the chivalrous feeling that the monks have for her. They always call her “Mother” and speak of her as “The Holy Mother” – and she is literally their first thought in every emergency. There are always one or two in attendance on her, and whatever her wish is, it is their command. It is a wonderful relationship to watch. I should love to give her a message from you, if you care to send her one. A monk read the “Magnificat” in Bengali to her one day for me, and you should have seen how she enjoyed it. She really is, under the simplest, most unassuming guise, one of the strongest and greatest of women. (LSN, To Mrs. Eric Hammond, 22/5/1898, Vol I, 1982, pp. 9-10.)
