At the outbreak of World War II, Lady Sophia Garfield dreamt of becoming a beautiful spy - but she never imagined having to cope with a nest of German agents in her own home. Or that they would murder her maid, and hold her beloved bulldog hostage. Of course one couldn't spend one's entire war unmasking enemies - especially with the blood of kings flowing in one's veins, so Sophia still has time for tea at the Ritz with dotty aristocratic friends, and for fighting her arch-rival Princess Olga Gogothsky (nee Baby Bagg) for the affections of the dashing Rudolph Jocelyn.
