English tale of madness and assumed identity. A friend's pretty wife is totally unlike the youthful self known to school companions and villages. When she returns with her husband to her estate she eventually decides to sell it because of the comments of everyone on the change in her. On the eve of their departure the real mistress of the estate appears and exposes her as her former nurse. The imposter goes mad and eventually dies in the same Swiss lunatic asylum to which she confined her former charge. Slight. (PB)
