Young Nightingale arrives from the country to begin his seven-year apprenticeship with Mr. Paris, a master carver of mirror frames. On his first night, a broken mirror portends bad luck, and he finds himself bewildered by the tricks of Lucinda, his master's pretty daughter. As Lucinda's games with mirrors and reflections take a nasty turn, Nightingale must gather his wits to turn the tables on her in this comic story of eighteenth-century London.
