<p>Dora reveals her commitment to the distressed mother by affirming:
"Sister in suffering and unbounded hope, I believe you". The use of the
pronoun <named-content content-type="foreign-phrase" xml:lang="fr">tu</named-content>
instead of the more formal <named-content content-type="foreign-phrase" xml:lang="fr">vous</named-content>
in the original French version establishes an immediate familiarity
and sense of trust between the two women.</p>
