What is the point of view of "The Open Window" and how can you tell?

In the short
story, "," by , the author uses a third-person omniscient point of view. What this
means is that the narrator is a not a part of the story but can share what the characters are
thinking and feeling. The reader learns about the characters from the third-person narrator as
the narrator conveys what the characters are thinking and feeling in the short story:

For the most part, the narrator shares Framton Nuttel's point of view. He is the one
who is nervous, calling upon strangers. He is the one who sits and listens to "Vera's tall
tale, not knowing it is a far-fetched story. He is the one who believes Vera's tall
tale.

Also, the reader believes Vera's tall tale and is just as engrossed in
the story as Mr. Nuttel is. The reader feels the eerie feeling as the men are heading toward the
open window.

For most of the story, until he
runs from the house, the reader shares Mr. Nuttel's point of view. Like Mr. Nuttel, the reader
is at the mercy of Vera's story. The reader remains, however, after Mr. Nuttel has fled and thus
learns that Vera's story was nothing but a tall tale.
