OK, easy to assume that the husband demands to see the note and that the wife is cheating.
BUT.
What if it is the HUSBAND’s note behind her back??
I think the husband is cheating…..his wife is curious, suspicious? Finds the note and reads it. He walks in as she is reading it and puts it behind her back. He knows something is up and asks her what she is hiding…..
What strikes me about this is how calmly determined the woman is in keeping the letter away from this stern, demanding, authoritative (dare I say) patriarch. She seems so quietly confident and in her power in standing up for herself and not revealing what is clearly none of that man’s business.

He looks so stern while she looks so calm.
I feel nervous for her….
Who cares what’s going on….I just can’t get over the size of her skirt. I love it.
Is she in mourning? Her dress is so dark.
Perhaps the note says nothing. SHe’s just being coy with him fo r amoment or two…a game. She’s teasing him.
I think if he thought she was cheating that he would look much more angry. I agree with Walter, I think she is just being coy and wants his attention.
