Question

Why did Frampton look at Vera when he saw Mr Sappleton and Mrs Sappleton's brothers returning? How did Vera confirm his doubt?​

Answer 1

Answer:

• Framton believes Mrs. Sappleton's husband and brothers died three years ago by drowning in the bog. Framton's nerves are set on edge as Vera shares how Mrs. Sappleton expects her husband and brothers to return at any moment.
• Framton looks at Vera in this way because Vera has told him, before her aunt enters, that Mrs. Sappleton's husband and brothers actually died in a hunting accident and that she has never been able to get over her grief and constantly expects them back.
