Red as a Peony in the face was Hanna Lindberg, when she for the first time entered the localitites of the city council, where the governor Tersmeden stood before the table of the chairman focused on the door, awaiting to receive the first woman in the city council. As soon as Hanna Lindberg appeared at the door, he met her and escorted her galantly to her seat, which I had chosen for her in advance in the first line.
