She knows she can't ask her husband for that much money out of the blue so she resolves to take her belongings and sell them and tell her husband they were stolen. He comes home early and assumes the old crone packing the furs is a thief so she kills him figuring there's plenty of other men to victimize. She forgets that the servants heard her voice when she entered the building and now the police are looking for her, so she can never redeem her pawn ticket if she wants to avoid being arrested for murder.
