Chambermaid Rosalie finds a spider while she’s cleaning: a spider in the morning brings grief and worry. She kills the unfortunate insect − causing considerable collateral damage, only to discover a second spider at lunchtime while serving food… Arachnophobia à la Rosalie. The resilient and assertive character was portrayed by Sarah Duhamel in a whole series of silent films with great physical presence and huge success.
