On our way back we stayed for lunch at Merripit House, and it was there that Sir Henry made the acquaintance of Miss Stapleton. >From the first moment that he saw her he appeared to be strongly attracted by her, and I am much mistaken if the feeling was not mutual.
Det var der sir Henry gjorde frøken Stapletons bekjentskap. Fra første øyeblikk han så henne, syntes han å være sterkt tiltrukket, og jeg skulle ta meget feil om følelsen ikke var gjensidig.
