The Swedish Tiger
23 July 2023
Warning: Spoilers
This is simply a bad episode and was poorly shot by the director, hence why you could end up being confused.

It does not help Elizabeth Bellamy suddenly appears and despite her interests in progressive causes. Picks on poor old Sarah.

The episode begins with a stranger looting valuables from the Bellamy household. He is well dressed but when Sarah spots him, she chastises him for not using the servant's exit and entrance.

The stranger is Thorkil Kraft, the valet for Captain Axel Ryttsen. A Swedish soldier who is a guest of James Bellamy while his parents are in Scotland.

James is playing cards with Captain Ryttsen but it is all a charade.

Rytssen and Kraft plan to steal valuable items from the Bellamys and leave poor old Sarah on the lurch.

Once again Sarah shows her gullible side, falling for Kraft's charms even though she knows he is a thief.

There is an interesting but diverting tale here. Shame it never made it to the screen.
