You may be right, but we (my friends and I) have always understood that this is what Delita did to her. Like, he did it to make sure that she didn't tell anyone about his intentions. Back in that time, literacy was a lot less common, so in order to narc him off, she'd need to speak, since she probably couldn't write.

You don't need a weapon to rip things. Your hand works quite well.
