In general, he was a very attentive, gallant man, and mainly thanks to his wife. A great lover of classic Russian literary works, deeply absorbing the graceful romance of the relationship between a man and a woman among the ruling class in nineteenth-century Russia, it was Christina who instilled in her husband the lion's share of manners. Attaching great importance to the helpful signs of attention to the ladies from the side of the stronger sex, she was able to quickly and clearly convey to her husband that by showing them, he elevates not only her, but himself. Open the car door, pick up the bag, take off the fur coat, move the chair - soon my husband performed all these tricks easily and naturally, enjoying the feeling of his own irresistibility with might and main.
