Question
Describe Miss Stapleton's first encounter with Sir Henry in about 125 words
Solution
Sir Henry made his acquaintance of Miss Stapleton at a lunch event organised at the Merripit House. From the moment he saw her, he appeared to be strongly attracted by her and the feeling seemed to be mutual. He referred to her again and again on the walk home and since then, hardly a day had passed when Sir Henry did not meet her. They were always inviting each other to their houses for dinner.
