Countess "Mother" Anna Konstantinovna is the foster mother of thirteen daughters. She took all the girls to her huge, rich house as teenagers. The girls were orphans and were grateful to her for it – they served faithfully.
But it was a different matter with you, the Countess "Mother" took you into her house at a later age: you came to St. Petersburg from a distant and very poor village, you wanted to study to be a doctor, but did not enroll and remained on the street without means of livelihood.
The "mother" took pity on you and took you under her wing, into her house – your skills as a doctor were useful in her house.
"Mother" found you not attractive enough to represent you in high society as her "daughter", she made you a maid and you served in her house: cleaned, brought, cooked, sewed…
One day, a bug came to the house of the "Mother". You've met him before, but never this close.
The "mother" ordered to take the Bug to the office and offer him tea.
