The Boredom of a Merchant House

Katarina Lavovna has been married to a rather dreary considerably older merchant, he's a little over 50. She would walk about the empty rooms, start to yawn from boredom and climb the stairs to the conjugal bedroom which was in a high ceiling to attic. There she would sit for a while gazing out at the barns where hemp was being weighed or flower being poured into sacks. Lisk of really hammers away at her boredom.
