Answer :

A.Her specialty is romance at short notice.

Vera is the fifteen year old niece of Mr and Mrs Sappleton. She has a inherent talent for weaving exaggerated, mysterious tales with a tragic background.

On learning that Mr Framton does not know any member of the Sappleton family, she fabricates a tragic tale about the hunting party comprising of the Sappleton men and their dog. She mixes fictional events along with approaching ones and focuses them around the open window to create an unnerving tale. She tells Mr Framton that the current day was the third tragic death anniversary of her uncle and Mrs Sappleton's brothers who died by drowning in a bog. She ends her story "with a little shudder"to add a touch of drama.

As dusk approaches, and the Sappleton men approach the house, she stares outside the open window "with dazed horror in her eyes" as if she had seen ghosts. Mr Framton mistakes the three dark figures for ghosts and runs away from the house in nervous excitement.

In order to explain Mr Framton's hasty retreat, she fabricates another tale which describes the following incident.

"he told me he had a horror of dogs. He was once hunted into a cemetery somewhere on the banks of the Ganges by a pack of pariah dogs, and had to spend the night in a newly dug grave with the creatures snarling and grinning and foaming just above him. Enough to make anyone lose their nerve."
