Mrs. Sappleton's fifteen-year-old niece, Vera, causes Framton Nuttel additional mental distress by telling him an eerie tale about the tragic deaths of her uncles, who she knows will soon return from their hunting trip and walk into the open French window. Vera is described as a self-possessed young lady with a vivid imagination and an affinity for "Romance at short notice." Upon meeting Framton Nuttel, Vera asks him several questions and discovers that he is an extremely neurotic, timid man, who knows nothing about Mrs. Sappleton and is unfamiliar with the region. Vera views Mr. Nuttel as an easy victim and proceeds to fabricate a tragic, unnerving story, which explains why the French window is left open. Vera knows that her uncles will return shortly from their hunting trip and gives Mr. Nuttel a look of horror once he witnesses them walking toward the open window. Framton believes that Vera's uncles are ghosts and becomes overwhelmed with fear. Framton becomes so frightened that he bolts out of the house before the men arrive. Vera's capacity for fabricating stories, her ability to maintain her composure, and her talent for reading personalities allow her to frighten Framton Nuttel.
