She discovers he's Lord Damon and, worse, not only does he call her Miss Blake, but dares to kiss her. She arrives home, drenched, and finds even more upsetting news. The Duke of Roxton has informed her foster parents that he wishes Ashley to become his young daughter's governess, and Ashley is terrified of the dour duke.

Unlike Ashley, however, Alcida knows she has an identical twin sister, and that they were separated when very young. For years she's searched for her lookalike, but has never been able to find her. Now, through Lord Damon's mistake, she feels she might have indirectly done so. Determined, Alcida sets off for the country, but by the time she secretly connects with Ashley, she has become ill.

A comedy of errors quickly ensues, placing the more innocent Ashley within Lord Damon's easy reach, while the Duke of Roxton, expecting an innocent young lady to be his daughter's governess, has to contend with the worldly Londoner Alcida instead...
