"Sorry about that madam" Have you decided?
"I have an offer to make. You provide transport for the 15 of us in modest accommodations and one ton of furnishings and other personal goods. In addition you select the goods you wish to transport from our warehouse. I will arrange for sale of those goods through my factors and a very good price when we land. We split the sale price of the goods down the middle. If you take even a few of tons of goods you should make a decent profit on the passenger and freight. If you take more then we both come out ahead."
You can see why the family lets the old lady run things clearly she is a tough negotiator.
