Plot

In December 1905, Elizabeth Bellamy falls in love with Baron Klaus von Rimmer, a German who turns out to be homosexual.

He flees Eaton Place with the footman Alfred to Germany after they are caught by Rose in a sexual situation having sexual relations, before the police arrive to arrest him. Not wishing Elizabeth to know the real reason for his departure, she is told that he is a spy.[1][2] The ″baron fled, dumping Elizabeth and taking Alfred with him instead!″ [3]

gollark: The halting problem is that no Turing machine can tell if arbitrary Turing machines will halt though? No complexity hierarchy involved except theoretical oracle things.
gollark: Regardless of whether you think they are impossible or not, IQ tests and similar things are, as far as I know, correlated with stuff like educational attainment and income.
gollark: I can barely visualise things but not in detail. I also have really good memory for random facts but not life events, and excellent short term verbal memory but awful picture/number memory. Which is odd since those are meant to be correlated.
gollark: That isn't the halting problem and I disagree.
gollark: Regular polyhedra.
