Plot

Elizabeth's marriage to Lawrence Kirbridge remains deeply unhappy, with Lawrence not wishing to consummate the relationship. He later angrily asks his valet Thomas if he thinks he is homosexual. Lawrence 'arranges' for his publisher, the much older Sir Edwin Partridge, to make love to Elizabeth at a soiree the couple hosts.[1]
