Answer 2

Vera was the niece of Mrs Sapleton

Explanation:

• Vera was the niece of Mrs Sapleton. She was a young girl of fifteen years old.
• She was fun loving and mischievous. She knew how to drive a stranger out of the house. He made fun of him (Framton) and ran him out.
• She told a cooked-up story about her aunt's husband, her two brothers and the open window. She told him that three years ago her aunt's husband had gone for a shoot with his two brothers.
• They were caught in the wet marshy land. They never returned. But the aunt, Mrs. Sapleton, was still hoping that they would return home and enter through the open window. When Mrs. Sapleton came to Framton, she also confirmed the story of the hunting party.
• This story had a profound effect on the Framington. He got scared seeing them coming towards the window. Thinking them to be ghosts, he came out of the gate in a hurry.
