When three gentlemen got them charmed, they are obliged to act in a lady like manner. When these gentlemen secretly seek courtship, and entice the three ladies, the ladies do not know what to do. They were confused as to whether they will tell their mother about their secrets or not. They fear that their mother will be so upset upon knowing these. And what will their mother do if she finds out?
