He made no mention of his financial condition. But a Chinese student who knew of his plight went to the por ter of the college one day and told her that his friend Ruga mbwa was without shirts. Without saying anything the porter went out and bought material and, taking Rugambwa's m e a s u rements by sight, set to work and made shirts for him. When she gave them to him, she said jokingly: "You can pay me when you be come Cardinal."
