Why was the mr sappleton chatter uncomfortable to mr nuttel?
Mr. Sappleton's chatter was uncomfortable for Mr. Nuttel because it centered around his belief that his family members, who had passed away three years ago, would return. This belief, coupled with the empty open window that Mrs. Sappleton kept open in anticipation of their return, unsettled Mr. Nuttel.

Who are the characters in The Open Window?
Frampton Nuttel suffers from a nervous condition and has come to spend some time alone. His sister sets up introductions for him with a few members of the community. His first visit is to the Sappleton house where he meets fifteen-year-old Vera, the niece of Mrs. Sappleton. Vera keeps Nuttel company while he waits. Upon hearing that Nuttel has not met the Sappletons, Vera tells Nuttel some information about the family. Vera says that three years ago to the date, Mrs. Sappleton's husband and two younger brothers went on a hunting trip and never returned. Vera goes into detail about the clothes they were wearing, the dog that accompanied them, and the song that Mrs. Sappleton's brother sang upon their return. Vera says that her grief-stricken aunt watches out the window expecting their return. When Mrs. Sappleton enters, she tells Nuttel that she expects her husband and brothers to return at any moment. Nuttel listens, thinking that Mrs. Sappleton has in fact gone crazy. Suddenly, Mrs. Sappleton brightens as she tells Nuttel that they have returned. Nuttel turns only to see the "dead" hunters. He becomes frightened and leaves in a rush. Mrs. Sappleton doesn't understand Nuttel's strange behavior, but Vera replies that he is deathly afraid of dogs. Not until the end of the story does the reader realize that Vera has tricked Mr. Nuttel. This is revealed with the last line of the story: "Romance at short notice was her [Vera's] specialty."
What does mrs.sappleton talk about when she meets framton?

Mrs. Sappleton is a woman that Nuttel's sister knew, so she sends him to her house to stay for a while.

Why is nuttel upset when mrs.sappleton talks about her husband going hunting?
Vera a little earlier, before Mrs Sappleton arrived, had made an instant story of how the house master along with his two nephews and a dog had gone hunting in the marshes two years earlier, had died in the marshes and may return any time as ghosts. Mr. Nuttel who had come for a treatment of weak nerves had believed this story whose fear was only increased when he heard Mrs. Sappleton also relating how her husband had gone for hunting who may return any time. Naturally Mr. Nuttel was upset at the possibility of the ghosts returning to that house soon, so he ran away, treatment or no treatment.

Though she does not know Mrs. Sappleton well, she worries that her brother will suffer if he keeps himself in total seclusion, as he is likely to do.
