Baron Anzig

Reading notes
- Nerves §23 Baron Anzig
An invented former employer Rosalia Karlovna cites as a cautionary tale of an improper master, using the coy euphemism of a night visit "for matches" -- a stock innuendo of the era for an illicit late-night visit, which she claims to have seen through and reported to the baroness.
