Meryl is cycling on a lonely stretch of Yorkshire Moors while on holiday when she is caught in a storm. She asks for shelter, but is clearly unwelcome. She is given a silken dressing-gown to wear while her clothes are drying. When Stephen sees her, he calls her Griselda before grabbing her and kissing her. As Meryl leaves, she sees a portrait of a beautiful woman she assumes is Griselda. While she is cycling back, Stephen drives up and stops her. He accuses her of being an agent trying to steal the secret chemical process he has been working on and locks her in his house.
