Several years ago there was a lady from England living in an inn in Germany in order to recover from her distempers with the benefit of the waters that were there, and she would pay her bill in the inn every week. The bill was three sovereigns for the week. She had been dwelling at the inn for a little while and her purse was getting low. Until she’d be getting more from England, she only had three sovereigns left. (She was) quite determined to pay the weekly fee, but when the day came around to pay the fee she couldn’t find the gold anywhere. She carefully searched in every corner of the room and in every spot and place she could think of, in every trunk and box, and cupboard, and in a handbag. She shook it many times but all her work was in vain.

The sovereigns couldn’t be found, and it was the morning of the day the fee was to be paid. At nearly the middle of the day the fee was to be paid she asked God to show her where the money was, if it wasn’t stolen. When she was holding that prayer in an instant a thought came in her mind that the gold could have got into some fold in the little handbag. She got up from the bed on which she was lying and she took the handbag to see if there was any hole in its folds and there was a small hole, and when she put her finger in the hole, there were three sovereigns there safe and unaware of the grief their loss had given to the poor lady.

So, the faithful prayer had been answered, and the fee paid at the right time.
