Ma chère, I serve a man who multiplied the loaves and fishes-he smiled, nodding at the pool, where the swirls of the carps' feeding were still subsiding-who healed the sick and raised the dead. Shall I be astonished that the master of eternity has brought a young woman through the stones of the earth to do His will? Well, I reflected, it was better than being denounced as the whore of Babylon.
The speaker describes their amazement at serving a powerful figure who has transformed the lives of many through miraculous acts. They reference the biblical man who fed thousands and performed miracles, indicating the supernatural nature of their master. The serene scene of feeding carps evokes a sense of peace after such profound acts, hinting at divine intervention in the mundane.
The speaker grapples with the extraordinary nature of their role, accepting that being chosen for such a purpose is a blessing compared to being labeled negatively by society. This acceptance reflects a deeper understanding of their mission, suggesting that fulfilling a higher calling is more significant than public opinion or judgment.
