"The Way Up to Heaven" is a macabre short story by Roald Dahl. It was originally published in The New Yorker, as were some of the other short stories that would later be reprinted in the 1960 collection Kiss Kiss. Mr and Mrs Foster are a wealthy married couple living in a six-story house in New York. Mrs Foster has recently begun to suspect her husband of purposely exacerbating her pathological fear of tardiness. She is continuously badgered by her husband, Eugene, who seems to make a habit of waiting until the last minute to leave the house. After months of persuading her husband to let her go, Mrs Foster is preparing for a six-week trip to Paris by herself, where their daughter and three grandchildren (whom they have not yet met) reside.
