How would you describe ‘Mrs Sappleton’s niece? What do you think the writer means by the last sentence? The story so far ‘Mr. Framton Nuttels a hypochondriac and has moved to a small vilage to treat his poor ‘nerves. There, he visits Ms. appleton, a friend of his sister, forthe first time, buts met by her fifteen-year-old niece, who tells him about ateribe tragedy that happened on that very day three years earlier Mrs. Sappleton's husband was kiled wile hunting, and she has kept the window open ever since stil waiting for his retufn. When Mrs. Sappleton finally comes Into the room and introduces herself, Mr. Nuttel already regrets paying her a vist ‘The Open Window “Thope you don’t mind the open window; said Mrs. Sappleton, bariskly;‘my husband and brothers will be home directly from, shooting, and they alvways come in this way. They've been out for snipe in the marshes today, so they'll make a fine mess over my poor carpets. So like you menfolk, isn’t it?” She rattled on cheerfully about the shooting and the scarcity of birds, and the prospects for duck in the winter. ‘To Framton it was all purely horrible. He made a desperate but only partially successful effort to turn the talk on to 4 less ghastly topic, he was conscious that his hostess was siving him only a fragment of her attention, and her eyes ‘were constantly straying past him to the open window and the lawn beyond, Ie was certainly an unforeunate coincidence ‘that he should have paid his visit on this tragic anniversary. “The doctors agree in ordering me complete rest, an absence of mental excitement, and avoidance of anything in the nature of violent physical exercise” announced Framton, ‘who laboured under the tolerably widespread delusion that total strangers and chance acquaintances are hungry for the least detail of one’s ailments and infirmities, their cause and ccure.'On the matter of diet they are not so much in agreement; he continued, “No?' said Mrs, Sappleton, ina voice which only replaced ‘a yawn atthe last moment. Then she suddenly brightened into alert attention — but not to what Framton was saying, “Here they are at last!” she cried, ‘Just in time for tea, and don they look as if they were muddy up to the eyes!” Framton shivered slightly and turned towards the niece with a look intended to convey sympathetic comprehy child was staring out through the ‘open window with a dazed horror in her eyes. In a chill shock of nameless fear Framton swung round in his seat and looked in the same direction, In the deepening twilight three figures were walking across the lawn towards the window, they all carried guns under their arms, and one of them was additionally burdened with a white coat hung over his shoulders. A tired beown spaniel kept close at their heels. Noiselessly they neared the house, and then a hoarse young voice chanted out of the dusk: ‘I said, Bertie, why do you bound?” Framton grabbed wildly at his stick and hat; the hall door, the gravel drive, and the front gate were dimly noted stages in his headlong retreat. A cyclist coming along the oad had to run into the hedge to avoid imminent collision. “Here we are, my dear) said the bearer of the white ‘mackintosh, coming in through the window, ‘fairly muddy, but most of i's dry. Who was that who bolted our as we came up?" “A most extraordinary man, a Mz Nuttely said Mrs. Sappleton; ‘could only talk about his illnesses, and dashed. off without a word of goodbye or apology when you arrived. One would think he had seen a ghost. expect it was the spaniel, said the niece calmly;‘he told me he had a horror of dogs. He was once hunted into a cemetery somewhere on the banks of the Ganges by a pack of pariah dogs, and had to spend the night in a newly dug grave with the creatures snarling and grinning and foaming just above him.
