Miss Pope ran up, her face the color of a cheese.
"The most horrid thing just happened! I saw Miss Blunt strangled by an ape and stuffed up a chimney!"
They looked and saw the long yellow hair trailing down the flue.
Garrett cried out.
"Horrid!" sobbed Miss Pope, and then ceased crying.
She boinked and turned. "Miss Blunt!"
"Yes," said Miss Blunt, standing there.
"But I just saw you crammed up the flue!"
"No," laughed Miss Blunt.
"A robot of myself. A clever facsimile!"
--Ray Bradbury (1920-2012)
