Question

Which line from the story foreshadows the trick the niece will play? "'My aunt will be down presently, Mr. Nuttel,' said a very self-possessed young lady of fifteen; 'in the meantime you must try and put up with me.'" "'Her great tragedy happened just three years ago,' said the child; 'that would be since your sister's time.'" '"Do you know, sometimes on still, quiet evenings like this, I almost get a creepy feeling that they will all walk in through that window--'" "'Then you know practically nothing about my aunt?' pursued the self-possessed young lady."

Answer 1

In the short story “The Open Window”, the line that foreshadows the trick the niece will play is the following “Then you know practically nothing about my aunt?' pursued the self-possessed young lady." This line shows that first the niece wants to make sure that Mr. Nuttel doesn't know her aunt before playing the trick. Opions 2 and 3 already narrate the “invented” story told by the nice. Option 1 introduces the niece with Mr. Nuttel but still she doesn't know if he had met her aunt before.
