The will-she/won't-she marriage of Belle Finlayson to George Roberts was a romantic and comedic gift to the press in 1933. Then their divorce in 1936 delivered 'unheard of scandal' to their readers. But they missed the key to the comedy and tragedy that made this marriage 'cover' for sexual proclivities punishable by law then.They missed a key actor, the wealthy English peer Earl Beauchamp. He had suffered under similar laws. Divorce, disgrace, loss of office and influence, and exile from his homeland were his sentence.Here, three generations of consequence are laid out, including peripherally the author's own marital acquaintance with the Belle of Sydney.
