In the early 1970's my English Literature Teacher read the class a short story. I have no idea of the title or who the author was.
The story is about a group of people staying at a manor somewhere remote. A clear description of all guests was given upon their arrival.
One evening the guests were providing entertainment for the other guests. One mysterious gentleman said he could make a person disappear without trace. A sudden black out. When the lights came on everybody was there. No one was missing.
A clear description of all guests was given upon departure. With one difference........ Where one particular couple were described upon arriving - was described as a single person departing...........
I have been trying to identify this for several years with no success. Is there somebody who can help?
