She's got much bigger problems: Eleanor has two left feet, nothing to wear and she's expected at the masked ball at the local manor.

As she follows a familiar pair of long legs up a grand staircase, she's sure she's on Lance's trail. But she opens the door on a dreadful scene: Lance standing over a dead Colonel Puddifoot, brandishing a silver candlestick, the family safe wide open and empty.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMoments later, the police burst in and arrest Lance for murder, diamond theft and a spate of similar burglaries.
