A story invented by a "self-possessed young woman" scares (*)
A young boy repeatedly insists that "all hunting stories are the same," a claim refuted by his Baroness, in one of his works. That story, "Esme," is found in the collection Chronicles of Clovis, and this author also penned the novels When William Came and The Unbearable Barrington. A story invented by a "self-possessed young woman" scares (*) Framton Nuttle away from Mrs. Stapleton's house, which contains the titular orifice, at the end of one of his works, and Mrs. De Ropp is killed by the titular pole ferret that is worshiped by her cousin Conradin at the end of one of his short stories. For 10 points, name this British short story writer of "Sredni Vashtar" and "The Open Window," who went by a one word penname.
