GRANDMA PERKINS AND THE SPACE PIRATES Raven-haired, seductive Darling Toujours' smoke-and-flame eyes kindled sparks in hearts all over the universe. But it took sweet old Grandma Perkins, of the pirate ship Dirty Shame, to set the Jupiter moons on fire . [Transcriber's Note: This etext was produced from Darling Toujours, the raven-haired, creamy-skinned televideo actress whose smoke-and-flame eyes lit fires in hearts all over the solar system. She was credited with being the most beautiful woman alive and "And I can always get along with a woman if she remembers who I am," comfort of an overstuffed chair and favored the actress with a wicked Kismet was blasting through space at close to the speed of light, bound from Callisto, one of Jupiter's moons, back to Earth. But none of the two scarlet lips shut with rage. It would take someone like Carlton E. Carlton, she knew, to point out the one minor blemish in an otherwise perfect body—her slightly over-sized mouth. She began to wish that she had never left Callisto, that she had cancelled her passage on the to Earth immediately to make a new series of three dimensional video films. And the Kismet Earth and the many planets, he had dreamed of caressing those lips. "And I think you are definitely a man of discriminating taste," said you're supposed to act like a lady, if you can act that well." unlady-like manner when she suddenly realized that they were not alone. The witness to the impending slap was a withered little lady, scarcely wind, and a friendly rash of wrinkles that gave her face the kindly, weathered appearance of an old stone idol.

Perkins, but you see, I'm really Mrs. Matilda Perkins because my Omar died a few years withered most people where they stood. Mrs. Perkins just smiled sweetly at him. His rage getting out of hand, he finally blurted, "And now, Mrs. Perkins, I think you'd better be getting back to your quarters. As you Mrs. Perkins continued to smile at him. "Yes, I know. It's lovely, "So I see," said Mrs. Perkins, staring at the opulent furnishings lying on the bed." Mrs. Perkins picked up the sheer, gossamer garment away from Mrs. Perkins and rudely propelled the older woman out the Mrs. Perkins had been lying in her berth reading for less than an hour freckled face through the door.

You Johnny leaned back, relaxing against the door. "Well, STAR—that's Stellar Transportation and Atomic Research, you know—is one of the thirteen monopolies in this part of the solar system.

"My name is Perkins," Grandma smiled. deal of my grandniece, Agatha. She was undoubtedly the most lovely "Why, thank you, Mrs. Perkins," Darling purred, starting to preen just pity. She was so pretty, just like you." "But we must all make the best of things as they come. That's what "Then I'll make it a short story.

Grandma dabbed a bit of a handkerchief at her eyes. "The And I'm sure they think I've lost most of my marbles. Everything I did embarrassed them, so I guess it's for the best, but—" Grandma Perkins never finished the sentence, for interrupting her came the horrendous clang of the Kismet's general alarm, and on its heels, charging through the main salon like a rhinoceros in heat, came Captain Fogarty. II The Starship Kismet was the pride and joy of Stellar Transportation and Atomic Research. It was outfitted with every known safety device and the control room was masterfully planned for maximum efficiency. But the astral architect who designed her never anticipated the situation facing her at the present. The of confusion. The Senior Watch Officer was shouting at his assistant, the Navigator was cursing out the Pilot and the Gunnery Officer, whose job had been suddenly, came the raucous voice of Captain Fogarty as he stalked onto the bridge. "What in great space has happened to the motors? Why are we losing speed?" they're responsible, Sir. They say they've got a new device that will leave us without atomic power for as long as they like." As if to confirm this, over the loudspeaker came a voice. "Ahoy, STAR Kismet . Stand by for boarders. If you don't open up to us, we'll blast you off the map." "Pirates! Attacking us! Incredible!" cried the Captain. "There are no pirates any more. What have we got a Space Patrol for? Where in blazes is the Space Patrol anyway?" eh? Well, we'll just blow that pirate out of the sky right now. Stand by the guns!" "The guns are useless," whined the Gunnery Officer. "The atomics that run them won't operate at all. What will we do?" "Ahoy, STAR Kismet "They'll never get through the hatches alive. At least our small arms still work. We'll kill 'em all!" cried Captain Fogarty. over the radio. "Tell them I'd rather all of us be killed than to let one dirty pirate "Oh, my goodness. That doesn't sound very smart," Grandma said half marked: EMERGENCY LOCK the bulky covering off. She had gotten no more than the headpiece off when the truth dawned on her companions. "Holy Smoke (or something like that)," said one of the men. "Nippin' Nebulae," said another. "It ain't Darling Toujours at all!" cried Lamps. "I beg your pardon," said Grandma, and quite nonchalantly shed the rest Perkins." you owe us a sort of an explanation, lady. If you know what I mean." why did you do this to us?"

Grandma Perkins paused in her narrative and looked up at her audience, , and I thought how nice it would be to run away and join a gang of cutthroat pirates." "She's batty," moaned Snake. "She's lost her marbles," muttered another. "Let's toss her overboard right now," said still another. Lamps O'Toole took the floor. "Now, wait a minute. We can't do that," he said loudly. "We got enough trouble as is. You know what would happen to us if the Space Patrol added murder to the list. They'd put the whole fleet in after us and track us and our families down to the "My name is Mrs. Matilda Perkins. You may call me Grandma." "Okay, Grandma, look. You really fixed us good. To begin with, we ain't money, and to top it all off, we'll be wanted for piracy by the Space Patrol." "I figured as much," Lamps said dolefully.
