In the dock stood a girl, but could she be the one who had lately entered and was seated between her femalecompanions?Even the judge, sitting in Mr. Justice Deidpole’s seat, was unfamiliar, a wraith from another century. A faint perfume, as of herbs or wholesome flowers, stole to the young man’s nostrilsWasitreality, this scene, or a form of nightmare?

In the 1930s, when a string of pearls is stolen from a wealthy guest at the Wheatsheaf hotel in Derriford, suspicion quickly falls on Ann Bacon, an 18-year-oldmaid. Though she protests her innocence, she is arrested andhauled upin front of the county court.In 1752, a richtravellerstays at the Cock Inn just outsidethe town, where she, too, is relieved of her pearls. Everyone is convinced of the guilt of Patience Passey, an 18-year-old serving girl at the inn, and she too is arrested and tried at the local assizes.

Linking the two eras is a marshal of the court who starts torealisehe may be the only person able towitnessboth cases first-hand.
