Reading notes
- The Impresario Under the Sofa §2 the raiment of Eve
A biblical euphemism (Genesis) for total nakedness, used here for comic decorum as the actress strips down before the impresario is discovered hiding under her sofa.
- Fintiflyushki §6 Eve Rubets-Otkachalova
The first woman of Genesis, here given the feminine form of the count's surname -- completing the absurd claim that Adam and Eve themselves belonged to his family line.
- Over Some Apples §7 Adam and Eve of old
The first woman in Genesis, tempted by the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge; the model for the girl's ill-fated bite of the apple here.
