  1. What is Miss Strangeworth trying to accomplish by sending out her letters? Does she succeed? Discuss.
  2. How would you describe the story's atmosphere at the beginning? How does this atmosphere help to emphasize the ending?
  3. Considering the title, who is possibly evil? How do we see this "evil" in the story?
  4. Some interpret this story is a comment on crime and criminal behaviour. What might this story teach us about criminals and crime?
