Treacherous Women: Sex, Temptation And Betrayal (2014)
“It was preferable for her to be awake when they arrived, rather than be startled into consciousness with the knowledge that they had come for her. For, she had not known the date of the execution. The authorities considered it inhumane to make the condemned prisoner aware of the date of his or her demise.
However, in spite of the stamping of their feet on the cold stone floor, Mata Hari was not awake that morning of 15 October 1917, as they approached the cell. The previous night’s sedative... had not worn off and she had to be stirred from her sleep. Captain Pierre Bouchardon, the man who had interrogated her so many times, told her to be brave and informed her that her request for clemency had been rejected by the President of the Republic.

Calming down, she turned to one of the nuns.MoreLess
