Ans: The niece told Nuttel that about three years ago Mrs Sappleton’s husband and her two younger brothers had gone for their day’s shooting through the open French window. They never came back.

Their bodies were never recovered.

Exercise
1: Is this a mystery story? Give a reason for your Answer.

Ans: While explaining the mystery behind the open French window, theevents narrated by Mrs Sappleton’s niece manage to create a sense of foreboding.

Hence, one can say that this story does contain elements of the mysterious.
