The Open Window

Saki (H.H. Munro)

"Romance at short notice was her speciality." Framton Nuttel, a man suffering from a nervous condition, moves to the quiet countryside for a "rest cure." Upon visiting the Sappleton household, he is entertained by the niece, Vera, a self-possessed young lady of fifteen. She tells him a tragic story of how her aunt's husband and brothers disappeared through an open window three years ago to the day. When the figures suddenly appear walking across the lawn, Nuttel's nerves are pushed to the breaking point. Saki’s "The Open Window" is a darkly humorous and perfectly constructed tale about the power of storytelling and the art of the prank.
