Question

why was bookers impressed with the English people

Answer 1

. Before this he had presumed that they merely spent money freely and had a “good time.” Booker also came to realise that when the Englishman took one into his heart and friendship, he bound one there  with cords of steel. He also came to believe that there were not many other friendships that were so lasting or so satisfactory. He illustrated this point through the incident of his and his wife’s interaction with the Duke and Duchess of Sutherland, whom he met first at Stafford House- the finest house in London. The correspondence had continued after that meeting, and he went on to say that in the Duchess of Sutherland his wife and he had one of their warmest friends.
