Michel wants to become a priest. He spoke to Don Bosco about his intentions. Don Bosco helped him in learning the Latin language. Don Bosco sensed that Michael was a Salesian priest rather than a parish priest, although that was his intention. This became a reality.

Like Tody, the director of the orphanage did not expect Line Bordas, the long-awaited guest, to face her. Indeed, she was not really a foreigner because the only difference between her and the Malagasy of father and mother is that she was not very good with the Malagasy language, especially with regard to pronunciations.

Don Bosco acted as mediator between his colleague and the cart driver. This argument was because of the blasphemy of God's name. Don Bosco handled it with kindness and it ended with the cart driver's confession.

Even though the husband of Noro, Tody, have already met Line Bordas, he is surprised that she is the guest of Noro that she welcomed in Antananarivo. He did not stop to his astonishment but continued his investigation about Line Bordas and the purpose of her visit to Madagascar.
