Select the correct text in the passage. In this excerpt from H. H. Munro's "The Open Window," which line is an example of indirect characterization of Framton Nuttel through speech?
"I know how it will be," his sister had said when he was preparing to migrate to this rural retreat; "you will bury yourself down there and not
speak to a living soul, and your nerves will be worse than ever from moping. I shall just give you letters of introduction to all the people I know
there. Some of them, as far as I can remember, were quite nice."
Framton wondered whether Mrs. Sappleton, the lady to whom he was presenting one of the letters of introduction, came into the nice division.
"Do you know many of the people round here?" asked the niece, when she judged that they had had sufficient silent communion.
"Hardly a soul," said Framton. "My sister was staying here, at the rectory, you know, some four years ago, and she gave me letters of
introduction to some of the people here."
