How did the others react to his response? What is ironical about Mrs Sappleton's remark One would have thought he had seen a ghost?
Answers
Answer:
Framton Nuttel is actually calling on both Mr. and Mrs. Sappleton, but Mr. Sappleton happens to be out shooting with two of his wife's brothers, so Framton will have to wait to meet the men. He only meets Vera at first and then her aunt. He is a shy man and doesn't enjoy making these visits to complete strangers. He is only doing it because his sister insisted on his making an effort to have a little social activity while he was undergoing his rest cure in the country.

This is significant because it defies the expectations raised by Vera's story about their untimely deaths three years earlier.
