Question
Is this a mystery story? Give a reason for your answer.
Solution
While explaining the mystery behind the open French window, the events narrated by Mrs Sappleton’s niece manage to create a sense of foreboding. Later, when the three men approach the open window, the reader (like Framton) can only logically conclude that they were ghosts. Hence, one can say that this story does contain elements of the mysterious.
