Question
How would you have reacted in Mr Nuttel's situation? How would you describe Mrs Sappleton's niece? What do you think the writer means by the last sentence?
Answer
The writer doesn't use the word romance with the usual meaning. Here, it probably means an ability to create stories and fantasy in a quick-witted way.
