London, England, 1939-1941: Jane Muffet grew up getting teased about that cursed rhyme. Her family moved a lot, so each spot was another round. Now she has a bad attitude and prefers to be alone most of the time. She tried a few shop positions, but none suited her. Jane moved to London and luckily found a job mending furniture—odds and ends damaged by all the bombs of the Blitz.

But where did it come from, and worse where is going? Are there really spies here amongst all the splinters?
