History YMMV / BlackadderS3E3NobAndNobility

* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: Topper and Smedley both die before they can fully give their side of the story, leaving it open to interpretation as to whether they guessed that Blackadder would try and fake rescuing a French aristo, leading Topper to disguise himself as one with a view to humiliating Blackadder by doing his DramaticUnmask in front of a large crowd at the French embassy ball, or whether the duo knew ahead of time that the embassy had fallen under revolutionary control and so decided to give Blackadder a first-hand demonstration of what rescuing a French aristocrat ''actually'' involves, or went along with the first plan only to realise that the French embassy had been taken over by the revolutionaries, causing Smedley to disguise himself as Madame Guillotine in order to rescue Blackadder out of guilt for having genuinely endangered him. It is also possible that neither of them were fully aware of what the other was doing, which explains why Topper (as Frou Frou) gave Blackadder the suicide pills shortly before Smedley (as Madame Guillotine) appeared.
