What had happened in the Sappleton family as narrated by the niece?
Ms Sappleton's husband and her two brothers had gone for shooting through the open French window three years ago. It had rained heavily that summer. Many places that had been safe in previous years become treacherously boggy. In the crossing the moor to their favourite shooting spot, they were all engulfed in a piece of bog. Their bodies could not be recovered.
What did Mrs Sappleton say about the open window
Mrs Sappleton told Framton that her husband and her brothers had gone for shooting water birds in the marshes. They were expected to return soon. They always came in through the window. So she had kept it open for them.
Why had his sister given him letters of introduction to people living there?
Framton knew nobody in the country. His sister knew that he would not speak to anybody and his nerves would be worse from moping. So she gave him a few letters of introduction so that he could visit people and talk to them. She hoped this would help to cure his ailment.
The horror on the girl’s face made Framton swing around in his seat. What did he see?
When Framton swung around he saw a silhouette of three men and dog in the evening light. Then a hoarse voice was heard shouting at the dog.
