Summary "Man and Maid" by E. Nesbit is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around the characters of Lawrence Sefton, who unexpectedly returns from a cycling trip upon learning about a substantial inheritance from his deceased great-uncle. He finds himself entangled in a mysterious encounter with a young woman dressed in pink as he visits the inherited property, Sefton Manor, which is rumored to be haunted. The tale promises elements of adventure, romance, and supernatural intrigue. The opening of "Man and Maid" introduces Lawrence Sefton as he abruptly decides to leave his cycling tour to return to town after receiving a letter from his mother. It informs him of his great-uncle's death and the inheritance left for him and his cousin Selwyn, which requires their meeting at the manor to decide who will keep the estate. Upon arriving at the manor, he discovers a beautiful young woman exploring the grounds, leading to a shared adventure as they explore the eerie mansion and its ghostly lore. Lawrence's chance encounter with her ignites a spark between them, setting the stage for a story filled with romantic tension and further mysteries. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
