The story of a French emigrant who washes up on England's shores, the daughter of a Duke... She is hiding as a servant, but she can't hide the aristocracy within herself. The Duke of Berkshire, Dan, sees her even though she is acting as a lady's maid; no lady's maid ever looked like her. The story has a weak plot, and the storyline lacks information as to why Mrs. Paige did such a horrid thing while making it seem like she was helping the girl. Furthermore, if the viscount's wife knew who she was, why did she not have a servant in her employ who knew her secrets? This would have ensured that when everything went south with the viscount, Violet had someplace to fall. The story lacked imagination and was historically inaccurate as to how England took in émigrés.
