Scene six of act two of this play takes place on April 11 after a pistol shot has been fired. The cottage of one of the characters, whose clear identity is unknown until the last scene, is stacked with pages of "cabalistic" mathematical proofs that he had appropriated from his brilliant young student, Thomasina. That character is revealed at the end of the play to be Septimus Hodge, an old school chum of Lord Byron, when the housekeeper Gus shows Hannah Jarvis a sketch of the painting "Septimus holding Plautus." For 10 points—name work of Tom Stoppard.
