Katie said, “What’s a rubbidith? What’s phylooges?”

“A local animal. Private joke. Too complicated to explain. But look, my other mouths get it.” The other mouths were grinning toothily. “Look, children, come with me. We’ll go over the mountains to the Final Fortress of the Dirrillillim, my home. We’ll get the necessary parts and equipment to enlarge the booth on Earth and we’ll get, oh deedly dee, a whole stack of weapons. Then we’ll come back, send the three of you through to polish off whatever space monster is moving in slow motion, chasing your excellent mother. Then, young Jasper Dash, you will enlarge your teleporter booth for me. Sound grand?”

“Yes! You can give Lily and Katie some electric rays too, so they can fight this monster?”

“Of course! Of course!” The many smiles smiled. They smiled very wide. They said, “Yes! It will be death rays all round!”

You and I have read other chapters in which Mrs. Dash heard about the secret evil of the Dirrillillim, so his promise to deliver death rays for everyone probably does not sound very reassuring to us. But remember, Lily, Jasper, and Katie hadn’t heard anything the Garxx of Krilm had said in their holographic moving picture show. So the three kids thought they were going to zip back to Earth shortly and stop a space monster in its tracks, saving Jasper’s mother and solving the mystery of the alien invader.

So they said things like, “Great!” and “Let’s go!” and (Lily) “Can we just set the death rays to stun?”

And they all bundled into the Dirrillill’s flying car without a fight and let him drive them farther and farther away from the interstellar gateway back home.
