Picking up the letter at the widow's feet


That scene had to raise eyebrows in that era, it was a thought provoking scene. I am assuming the Eurasian woman wanted the colonial lady to know know it felt to be subservient to another race who discriminated against you for dumb reasons. In addition to provoke guilt in the murdered of her hubby.
