“I’ll make sure it’s always the first time around with us.” She poked her head out. “Why aren’t you exhausted, too?”

“I don’t know. Maybe it’s because I’ve stolen your Titanian essence. Rogue, the Vampire, they call me.”

“Why on earth are you blinking like that?”

“Trying to work up spots before my eyes for your alleged psycat to chase.” He fondled the pet which was an affectionate Saturnian crossbreed, an odd blending of Siamese with koala. “She is a beauty. Does she chase her own spots?”

“But of course; all cats do. I’ve finished changing now. Time to go.”

“I’ll walk you to the office.”

“Only as far as the corner, I beg. If we’re seen together at the main entrance first thing in the morning… Well! Do I call you or you me?”

“You call me, and for God’s sake use your own Virginia voice. Don’t spring like a Mata Hari on me.”

“C’est magnifique,” she answered in throbbing spy-sultry tones, “mais ce n’est pas la guerre. Come on, Starjock.”

“I’ll give you the plans for the secret invasion,” he whined, “if you’ll only let me out of your secret thrall.”
