The story
Jane Hoskins is a handmaiden employed by Lord Minden and his haughty wife Lady Sybil Minden. Lord Minden's younger twin brother Nigel Duxbury received only a small fraction of his brother's share of the family fortune because his brother was born just five minutes earlier than he. Having squandered his money, Nigel sneaks into his brother's home and steals Lady Minden's earrings.
