At the same time, his sister does not want him to become isolated; she wants him to go out and meet new people.

Framton Nuttel is the nervous type. In fact, he is spending some time in the country on doctor's orders to try and help cure his strained nervous system. At the same time, his sister does not want him to become isolated; she wants him to go out and meet new people. It sounds like sensible advice, but it leads to Framton's already frayed nerves ending up almost completely shattered.
Vera could not have wished for a better victim of her terrifying shaggy-dog story. Framton is already nervous when he meets her, even though she is a fairly ordinary teenage girl. As well as having a nervous condition, Framton is rather shy, so meeting new people is a bit of a chore. Vera quickly establishes that Framton does not know anyone in the area, so her tall story will sound much more plausible. Everything is now set up to provide Vera with the ideal opportunity to spring her cruel little prank.
