by Hector Hugh Munro Saki . Saki was the penname of Hector Hugh Munro (1870-1916),a British political journalist who worked in Russia and France.
http://www.ompersonal.com.ar/shortstories/openwindow.htm
THE OPEN WINDOW by Hector Hugh Munro "Saki" Saki was the pen-name of Hector Hugh Munro (1870-1916) a British political journalist who worked in Russia and France. He published several volumes of short stories which show an understanding of children and of young people who play cleverly and sometimes maliciously on the feelings of their elders.
For Graham Greene, Munro was the best English humourist of the twentieth century. Munro's mother died when he was born, so he was sent to England to be brought up by two maiden old aunts who turned his life into a real misery. Greene states that this unhappy childhood is the key to the cruelty in almost all his short stories. This is the case of THE OPEN WINDOW... The Open Window La Ventana Abierta
'My aunt will be down presently, Mr. Nuttel,' said a very self-possessed young lady of fifteen; 'in the meantime you must try and put up with me.'
Framton Nuttel tried to say a few words which should flatter both the niece of the moment and the aunt that was to come. Privately he doubted more than ever whether these formal visits on a number of total strangers would do much towards helping the nerve cure which he was to undergo.

    Scottish-born writer whose stories satirize the Edwardian social scene, often in a macabre and cruel fashion. Munro's columns and short stories were published under the pen name 'Saki', who was the cupbearer in The Rabaoyat of Omar Khayyam , an ancient Persian poem. Saki's stories were full of witty epithets - such as "The cook was a good cook, as cooks go; and as cooks go she went." - and included coded references to homosexuality. "A little inaccuracy sometimes saves tons of explanations."
    (from The Square Egg, 1924) Hector Hugh Munro was born in Akyab, Burma (now Myamar) the son of Charles Augustus Munro, an inspector-general for the Burma police. His mother, the former Mary Frances Mercer, died in 1872 - she was killed by a runaway cow in an English country lane. Munro was brought up in England with his brother and sister by a pair of strict aunts who frequently used the birch and the whip. Munro was educated at Pencarwick School in Exmoth and the Bedford Grammar School. From 1887 he travelled in France, Germany and Switzerland with his family. In 1891 his father settled in Devon where he worked as a teacher. In 1893 Munro joined the Burma police. He returned to England three years later and started his career as a journalist, writing for

    OYSTERS
    "I will not eat oysters. I want my food dead. Not sick, not wounded, dead."
    Woody Allen "He was a very valiant man who first adventured on eating of oysters."
    James I (Thomas Fuller's "Worthies of England") "He was a bold man that first eat an oyster."
    Jonathan Swift, listed as a cliché in "Polite Conversation" Describing Ostend oysters: "small and rich, looking like little ears enfolded in shells, and melting between the palate and the tongue like salted sweets."
    Guy de Maupassant (1850-1893) 'Bel Ami' "Oysters are more beautiful than any religion....There's nothing in Christianity or Buddhism that quite matches the sympathetic unselfishness of an oyster."
    Saki (Hector Hugh Munro) Scottish writer (1870-1916) According to a companion, Thackeray, when presented with a half-dozen 6 to 8 inch oysters common at the time: "He first selected the smallest one...and then bowed his head as though he were saying grace. Opening his mouth very wide, he struggled for a moment, after which all was over. I shall never forget the comic look of despair he cast upon the other five over-occupied shells. I asked him how he felt. 'Profoundly grateful,' he said, 'as if I had swallowed a small baby.'"
    William Makepeace Thackeray (1852) "Why, then the world's mine oyster, Which I with sword will open."

    Detector vans to seek out late returns LIBRARIANS IN BUCKINGHAMSHIRE
    are getting tough with their age old enemy - overdue books. They are trailing a new scheme in which detector vans will be used to hunt down culprits. Random patrols and specially employed "book hunters" will pick up a signal form thebooks themselves then call at houses to issue a demand for payments for the return of overdue books.
    The hi-tech equipment in the detector vans will be able to pinpoint late library books thanks to special computer chips placed in their spines. The library books themselves will also vibrate in an attempt to alert people when they become overdue.
    The drastic measures come as the cost of the non-return of library books on Buckinghamshire County Council increases year on year. A library service spokesman, said:
    "With the new technology we are going to be able to retain more library books than ever before. In this way we will never lose a Dick Francis or Jilly Cooper novel ever again..."

    William Noel Hodgson was a Georgian poet in the style of Rupert Brooke . He volunteered in 1914, and served with the Devonshire Regiment. In September, 1915, during the Battle of Loos, "[u]nder heavy enemy fire Hodgson, three other young officers and a hundred men held a captured trench for 36 hours without reinforcements or food. Hodgson was awarded the Military Cross" (Powell, A Deep Cry 99). Marching out of this hell-hole, Hodgson composed the incredibly resilient " Back to Rest ." In 1916, Hodgson began writing stories, poems, and essays about the front under the pseudonym "Edward Melbourne." Hodgson was especially fond of telling tales about his resourceful "batman" (his aide). His pieces enjoyed an audience in the leading magazines of the day. As his unit waited to move up to its jumping off position at the Somme Offensive, Hodgson composed his last poem " Before Action ." On July 1st, Hodgson's battalion attacked the German trenches south of Mametz. "At the end of the day the bodies of 159 men, including Noel Hodgson were found. The body of Hodgson's batman was lying at his side. The men of the 9th Battalion were buried in their Mansel Copse trench, and a notice above the trench read: "The Devonshires held this trench. The Devonshires hold it still" (Powell
