In a modern reading

Slow loss: money, energy or confidence being nibbled away. It can also be plain worry, or something stolen or misplaced. [13][14][11]

Text on the 19th-century card

Printed on a French Petit Lenormand (Geûens-Sea, Bruges, c. 1895–1901), Bibliothèque nationale de France [1]

Signifie vol ; si elle est près on retrouvera l'objet perdu, et si elle est éloignée la perte est irréparable.

Original French

Signifies theft; if near, the lost object will be found again, and if far, the loss cannot be recovered.

Translation

As a house in the Grand Tableau

Position 23 of the Grand Tableau is the House of the Mice. A card that falls here is read in the context of loss, erosion, worry.[15][16]
