A Princess of Wittgenstein: A Short Story

Ileen is a chambermaid on the run, and a promethean: she is faintly blue all over, and her left arm is not the arm she was born with.

Fortunately her new London employers have open minds: Dr Penderby, respected associate of Dr Polidari, works extensively with prometheans and automata, and his wife Mrs Penderby is the founder of the Society for the Broader Definition of Humanity.

Only one person might ruin Ileen's new life: Soames, the automaton butler.
