  Roald Dahl : The late Elizabeth Taylor was an English writer who lived not more than six miles from me. And a fine short story writer she was too. This one of hers that you're going to see in a moment is so neat and nice and spooky, I only wish I'd thought of it myself. A plot like this, though it looks so simple, is very hard to come by and harder still to set down in precisely the right manner, giving nothing away until the very end. Watch it carefully.
