She Slit the Leather Cover
All Resolutions
She fetched the razor and slit the leather cover of the portfolio, through which Marie's letters dropped.
Description:
A woman holding a razor hands out a bunch of letters over a table, on which a long knife can be seen, to one of the two masked women standing in the room with her.
The caption reads in the original French: Florine prit le rasoir et fendit les plis du marocain qui s’ouvrit et laissa passer les lettres de Marie.
Caption based on Katharine Prescott Wormeley’s translation from A Daughter of Eve. Boston: Roberts Brothers, 1895.
