Vera's an inveterate teller of tales. We find this out in the very last line of the story:
"Romance at short notice was her speciality."
She doesn't just spin a yarn to poor old Framton Nuttel; she also tells her family a likely story to explain Framton's sudden, terrified departure. Clearly, Vera likes telling stories and the attention it brings her. She proves herself to be very good at acting, whether it's in the role...
Vera's an inveterate teller of tales. We find this out in the very last line of the story:
"Romance at short notice was her speciality."
She doesn't just spin a yarn to poor old Framton Nuttel; she also tells her family a likely story to explain Framton's sudden, terrified departure. Clearly, Vera likes telling stories and the attention it brings her. She proves herself to be very good at acting, whether it's in the role of a demure young lady or as the terrified girl gripped with horror as she sees the three men returning from their day of shooting.
We should never forget that Vera's a fifteen year old girl. As such, she still has a huge sense of fun, if a tad immature, and is always looking for ways to enjoy herself. And putting one over on adults is something she obviously enjoys greatly. The question we need to ask ourselves, however, is if this is something she'll eventually grow out of, or whether it indicates that Vera has rather more sinister character traits.
