Framton Nuttel: A young man ordered by his doctors to stay in the country to help cure his frayed nerves. He's also rather shy, so his sister thinks it would be a good idea to provide him with some introductions to local families.

Framton Nuttel: A young man ordered by his doctors to stay in the country to help cure his frayed nerves. He's also rather shy, so his sister thinks it would be a good idea to provide him with some introductions to local families. She clearly means well, but this turns out not to be such a good idea after all. His first (and last) port of call is the Sappleton residence.
Vera: The fifteen year old niece of Mrs. Sappleton. A seemingly demure young lady, she's actually rather mischievous with a highly vivid imagination. This gives her a particular talent for telling the tallest of tall stories. Inventing scary horror stories on the spot is a particular specialty.
Mrs. Sappleton: The lady of the house. Framton has gone to visit her, but unfortunately she's not there when he arrives, so he has to sit with the mischievous Vera, who proceeds to spin him a yarn in which her aunt has a particularly prominent role. When Mrs. Sappleton appears, she has a brief conversation with Framton which ends in terror and a very hasty departure.
