Hello fellow Bradbury enthusiasts.

Here is another clue: Ray Bradbury wrote of this story-"I wrote the story and put it away long years before the civil rights movement; it is a product of its era, and I believe that it stands the test of time."

It's "Chrysalis"! Not the one that was recently filmed, but the other one, from The Cat's Pajamas.

Clever lad! I can unofficially confirm that you are correct. BT will have to give the official confirmation, of course. I thought his original clue was a very good one - accurate without giving too much away.

philnic, douglasSP and you are correct!

This is one of my favorites and I think (as most Bradbury stories)would also make great film adaptation.

Your turn philnic!

Um, Hello?

Hello, Brother Tarkas! I know it's my turn, but I was too busy to select and type out a quotation...until now.

Name this Ray Bradbury story:

"He got out of bed quietly, went to the closet, took out an overcoat, a hat, an umbrella, slipped them on, his eyes fixed upon the midnight floor, not seeing the clock which pointed to the hours long after midnight [...]"

Guesses, anyone?

Can't quite place it.

Phil,

Does this character come from one of the Graveyard/Constance/Murder trilogy books?

Hi!
This is from "The Walker in the Night" a story in MASKS. Its about a sleepwalker and the relationship with his spouse.
Initially, I had an image of Mr. Koberman from "The Man Upstairs" from this passage.

Correct! I was hoping to fox everyone by using a quote with the phrase "long after midnight" (the title of a different story and short story collection) in it, but there's no foxing B.Tarkas.

Back to you, Bro!

Can an Englishman say "bro"?

Englishmen can say 'bro', but has Doctor Who ever said it?

Okay here is the new quote:

" A wind came up and blew in the dry papyrus and sifted the ancient wrappings and trembled the curious hands and softly twiched the lips of their old/new four-thousand -year nighttime visitor, whispering."

Good luck all!

I just did, and I seem to have got away with it.

The Welsh say bro, meaning land, but then they say a lot of funny things eg:

Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogeryhwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch

I defy anyone to pronounce that after a glass of single malt.
