Plot

Pauline (van der Groen) is a 'little girl of 66 years old'. She is mentally retarded and being cared after by her sister, Martha. When Martha dies, her two younger sisters, Paulette (Petersen) and Cecile have to make a decision on the best place for Pauline to be looked after. Neither of them is ready to take care of her. Paulette has a shop to look after and Cecile has her Albert. But, according to Martha's will, her fortune will only be divided in three equal parts if one of the sisters looks after Pauline. If they decide to take her to an institution, Pauline will be the only heir.

gollark: I feel like having convoluted `match` statements in my code for every operation would be very ææææ - in minoteaur there are sometimes even multiple `?`s per line.

gollark: Basically, if you use `?` on a `Result<T, io::Error>` your function must return `Result<T, io::Error>` (or something with an error type can store `io::Error`s).

gollark: Meanwhile in C you have "error codes" and actually have to pass in output things by reference for stupid reasons and basically have Go-but-worse error handling.
