A Countess Is A Countess !

Weaker, she'll use a walker.

More tired, she'll doze more.

Less appetite, she'll munch when she likes.

More pain, she'll take her meds.

But the Countess remains the Countess !

When it's harder on the Lady-in-Waiting, the Page attempts to provide her long-distance advice, support, comfort...

But the Lady-in-Waiting and the Page only have their titles because...

...the Countess remains the Countess!

And if visitors only get to see the Countess sleeping, napping, resting, dozing, or even snoring, they should know what a privilege it is to see her,

the Countess remaining the Countess!
