Bertie is the nickname of Framton Nuttel, the main character in Saki's short story "The Open Window." He is visiting the Sappletons and is the focus of a practical joke played by Vera, the niece of the household.
His sister sent him with a letter of introduction, which they used to use to establish social relations probably during the time of the story. His sister felt the letters of introduction will help him cure the nerves his suppose to be undergoing.
The conflict of this story is man .vs. man. Vera deliberately exploits Nuttel's nervousness for her own pleasure. The secondary conflict could be man .vs. self (Nuttel's nervousness fuels Vera's storytelling). Trying to decide the conflict is easy if you look at character motivation...what does the character want or need, how does he go about getting it, and who/what stands in the way.
Framton Nuttel was convinced of the truth of the story about the open window because he was a nervous man seeking solace in the country, and he was influenced by the earnestness of the woman who told him the tale. Her account of her husband and brothers' tragic hunting accident, combined with the eerie atmosphere of the setting, heightened his anxiety and made him more susceptible to believing her story. Additionally, the unexpected appearance of the three men returning from the hunt confirmed her narrative, reinforcing his belief in the tale's authenticity.
Framton Nuttel in "The Open Window" appears to be nervous and gullible, easily influenced by the fanciful storytelling of the young girl, Vera. He is described as suffering from a nervous condition and seems socially awkward, making him vulnerable to Vera's elaborate story. Overall, he comes across as easily persuaded and lacking in discernment.
Framton's nervousness and habit of creating wild stories as a coping mechanism are clues early on that foreshadow his gullibility and susceptibility to Vera's trickery at the end of the story.

Mrs. Sappleton's niece makes up a story about her aunt's deceased husband and brothers returning from a hunting trip, adding to Framton's distress as he believes the ghosts are real based on her convincing storytelling and unexpected behavior. This increases his anxiety and causes him to flee the house in fear.
The Point of View in this story is called "Omniscient Point Of View". It is to say that the person telling the story is NOT a character in this story and Knows everything there is to know about the character and setting.
In the short story "The Open Window" By H.H Munro (Saki), Framton Nuttel is supposed to be undergoing a "nerve cure", so he is sent on some sort of rural vacation by his doctors. Mrs. Sappleton is a woman that Nuttel's sister knew, so she sends him to her house to stay for a while. This does not work out as Nuttel's sister had hoped, which can be accredited to Mrs. Sappleton's niece, who has a penchant for trickery.
