The original text
It is the story of a plain servant girl, who after having a butcher as a lover, marries the doctor in the house in which she was employed as a domestic worker, but time brings out their differences of nature, training, education, and temperament of the couple. The ignorance of the servant girl, however, eventually leads to their separation. The Doctor brings back his first wife, the girl returns to her old butcher boyfriend, and all ends well.
