A young official, ambitious, but holding idealistic views, doesn't want to curry favor, or use patronage, although he is ready to live, albeit poorly, but honestly. He's subjected to increasing pressure from others who believe that material well-being is more important than principles, and he increasingly fights with his wife over money.
