Question

Who was referred as Fair unknown and why in the lesson The Holiday task

Answer 1

In the short story "A Holiday Task" by H. H. Munro Fair Unknown was the term used by Kenelm Jerton to refer to Mrs. Stroope or Lady Champion who had engaged him in a conversation at the hotel. Jerton used the title because Mrs. Stroope had the tendency of losing her memory and could not therefore remember her name. Surprisingly she could name all sorts of flowers.
