[edit] Spoiler

The "notable quote" seems quite unnecessary and is actually kind of a spoiler. Considering how many of Dahl's short stories (for adults, at least) are meant to have surprise endings, how much sense does it make to give away the very last sentence of this story? Perhaps it should be removed. Terukiyo 02:27, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

  • Yeah, totally. It's notable... but only as a spoiler, and not the kind of thing you would go around quoting.Salvar 03:52, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

I agree that the spoiler should be removed!˜˜˜˜ —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.99.103.69 (talk) 18:52, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Pronoun

"However by the 8th light a woman comes in the room, claiming that he is mentally disturbed." He who? The sentence implies it is the man making the offer, but the current object of "he" is the American boy. Never read the story so I can't confirm. --129.33.49.251 18:29, 10 August 2007 (UTC) It's the man from the South. Nancy.Gallant 14:14, 17 October 2007 (UTC)
