About this episode
"Altogether there are eight maids" [MUSG]
Two stories. Two jewels. Two lady's maids. And two strikingly similar circumstances.
In "The Blue Carbuncle" and "The Six Napoleons," published just 11 years apart, we can find some remarkable parallels that result in the disappearance of minor players who were involved in critical plot points. It's just a Trifle.
