@juergen_hubert @germany @folklore He could have used 1-3 spider(s) instead. 
@juergen_hubert As I learned it was common for many noble families the Austro-Hungarian empire in the 18-19th centuries. While the noble was away doing politics, travelling, fighting or doing whatever, it was many time his wife taking care of the estate's finaces including the high-level planning of the crops and livestock farming.

But it is also known from Ferenc Kölcsey writer (also a noble of that era), that his wife managed all material issues.
It's like men outsourcing the boring book-keeping and responsible thinking to their wife. I feel there is nothing feminist about it but quite the opposite.
