Mirah, wearing a long black dress, sits on a staircase and looks downwards with her hand over her heart. Her brother, Ezra Lapidoth, has sent her out of the room while confronting their father with his shameful debt and gambling addiction. This scene depicts familial tension and the siblings' emotional vulnerability (Book 8, Chapter 66).
