Noble women always live not for themselves, but for others. Therefore it is inconceivable to offend them, even to grieve with a word or deed does not occur to anyone.
The girl-noble woman remembers her grandmother, who lived a difficult but worthy life.
During the war with Napoleon, my grandmother lost her young husband, who was of a princely family, on the battlefield. And all her life she remembered him with warmth and tenderness.
Then she experienced a loss of wealth. Then her brother studied in the seminary and became her monk at her insistence. Only too late did she realize that this did not make him happy.
With the only daughter in the grandmother's relationship did not work out. And the daughter married a man who did not understand her at all.
Grandmother seeks salvation in religion, donates to temples, poor people, helps the underprivileged, sends to Moscow to receive education for the children of their servants.
She did her duty, but she did not get peace of mind.
