A Framton was surprised to hear the word ‘tragedy’ in such a peaceful village.
В He looked around the living room and wondered if Mrs Sappleton was married or perhaps a widow.
C She didn’t look very interested at all.
D She turned to look at him and laughed once more.
E The girl stopped speaking and just then her aunt came in and apologised for being late.
F The girl took Framtontasks coat and carefully placed it on the coat-stand.
‘Mrs Sappleton is upstairs - she’ll be with us in a minute, Mr Nuttel,’ said the girl. ‘So you’ll have to put up with me for a while.’ She giggled.
Framton Nuttel tried hard to think of something polite to say to her. He had come to the village to relax after a long illness. His sister had lived there a few years before and she had given him a list of ‘nice’ people he should meet. But he was beginning to feel fed up with visiting strangers.
‘Do you know many people in the village?’ asked the girl, who was Mrs Sappleton’s niece. Framton frowned. ‘Hardly anyone,’ he answered sighing. ‘But my sister used to live here and she gave me a list of people I should meet.’
taskOh, so you don’t know any tiling about my aunt?’ asked the girl.
‘Just her name and address,’ said Framton. 1) He looked around the living room and wondered if Mrs Sappleton was married or perhaps a widow. There was something very masculine about the room.
‘You don’t know about my aunt’s tragedy?’ asked the girl.
2) Framton was surprised to hear the word ‘tragedy’ in such a peaceful village.
‘You’re probably asking yourself why we have the door open on an October afternoon, Mr Nuttel.task
For the first time Framton looked up at the open patio-door, which led to the garden.
‘Well, let me tell you. Exactly three years ago today my aunt’s husband, his dog and her two young brothers left the house to go hunting. They never came back. They were crossing some low ground near a river ... it had been a very wet summer ... well, their bodies were never found. And my poor aunt ... she still thinks that they will come back somedaytask and walk through that door. Which is why she keeps it open.’ She stared at him for a moment and then whispered, ‘Do you know, sometimes on quiet evenings like this, I almost get a strange feeling that, they will all walk through that door!’
Framton shuddered. 3) The girl stopped speaking and just then her aunt came in and apologised for being late.
‘I hope my Vera has been amusing you?’ she said.
‘She has been very interesting,’ said Framton.
I’m sorry to keep the door open, but my husband and brothers will come back from their hunting trip soon.’
She talked for some time about hunting and birds. Framton felt terrible and tried to change the subject - but in vain. He could see that Mrs Sappleton wasn’t really listening to him but was gazing at the door all the time.
‘The doctors have told me to rest completely and not to do any exercise, but they’re not sure about the best diet for me,’ said Framton, who thought the pair might be interested to hear about his illness. Mrs Sappleton yawned. 4) She didn’t look very interested at all.
It was beginning to get dark and the room seemed a little gloomy.
‘Here they are at last!task she said, suddenly. ‘Just in time for tea!’
Framton turned to look sympathetically at. the girl. She was also staring at the door with horror in her eyes. Surprised, Framton glanced at the door.
In the darkness, he could see three people strolling across the lawn, carrying guns. A dog was running behind them. One of the men was singing. Framton gasped. He suddenly got up out of his chair, took his hat and dashed out of the house and through the gate, away from the house as fast as he could.
‘We’re back, my dear,’ said Mr Sappleton with a grin. ‘Who was that who just left?’
‘A very strange man called Mr Nuttel,’ said Mrs Sappleton. ‘All he could talk about was his illnesses, and then he left without, even saying goodbye ... or sorry. It was as if he had seen a ghost!’
‘It. was probably the dog,’ said her niece calmly. ‘He told me he was terrified of dogs. He told me that once in India he had spent the night lying in an empty grave in a cemetery, trying to escape from a pack of mad dogs.’
