Is what’s been taught for naught

Ever so Shady
Filmed in the 30’s

Here is some background on my two references
The 1934 movie summary is as follows Phyllis Fowler claims to be just a "simple little country girl" trying to get by in the wicked big-city, and she takes a big getting-by step when she pulls a scam that gains her a $17,000 diamond from an exclusive jewelry store. Soon, a private detective, who has a dupe gem matching the stolen one, the police, and two gangster buddies of the jeweler are all racing each other to get the diamond back from Phyllis. The country-girl provides them all with a wild chase. The movie starred Stars: Ralph Bellamy, Joan Perry
The book was written by Jude Deveraux and was part one of the James River Trilogy #1.

In eighteenth-century Virginia, the lush lands embraced the rivers that bounded the great plantations. There Clayton awaited his English lady...but when he showered his bride with ardent kisses, the woman he found in his arms was Nicole Courtalain
