During the time we were in France, one day the lady was invited by one of her relatives to her home. However, she returned home two hours later than the time she had told His Holiness the Imam of her returning. The Imam, who scheduled all his tasks by the hour and minute, came thrice to the kitchen from his room and asked: “Has the lady returned?” the third time he stated: “I am worried; is there any means by which we can get in touch with her?” Just then, the lady returned but when she arrived he sat down opposite her and simply stated: “You made me anxious.”
