The doctors advised me not to sit still in one place all the time, although suffering from hemorrhoids is very uncomfortable, I am inwardly glad to have the opportunity to rid myself of this insignificant public office. However, as you said, this insignificance is only from my perspective, because others do not see it this way. Who knows if they might regard occupying the position I left in the National Office as an enormous fortune?
But I am to take a different path, a more straightforward path, and I have the strength within me to take resolute steps along this route. I submitted a transfer request upwards, along with a doctor's diagnosis proving that I am no longer fit to work in the National Office. Luckily, Pletnev, the principal of the women's college, thinks highly of me, so he applied to the Queen, hoping to transfer me under his command, to teach at the women's nobility college.
