TIME and the WOMAN By Dewey, G. Gordon in them, but only she knew it. And if some of the muscles beneath her polished skin did not respond with quite the resilience of the youth they once had, only she knew that, too. But they would again , she told herself fiercely. She caught herself. She had let down her guard for an instant, and a frown had started. She banished it imperiously. Frowns—just one Again the frown almost came, and again she scourged it fiercely into the back of her mind. Time was her enemy. But she had had other enemies, and destroyed them, one way or another, cleverly or ruthlessly as circumstances demanded. Time, too, could be destroyed. Or enslaved. feel that sureness of power in her grasp—the certain knowledge that she, first of all people, would turn Time on itself and destroy it. She book. "Time in Relation to Time." The name of the author, his academic record in theoretical physics, the cautious, scientific wording of his was that Time could be manipulated. And she would manipulate it. For Ninon! her too. Once she had had to do it deliberately. But now, through the years, it had deepened. "Not yet, Robert," she whispered. She let him feel the slight but firm resistance so nicely calculated to breach his own watched the deepening flush of his cheeks with the clinical sureness that a thousand such time—to carry your image with me through all of time and space." Again Ninon let him feel just a hint of resistance, and risked a tiny out. I have to be at the spaceport by dawn—three hours from now." Ninon said, "But that's three hours, Robert." "I'll be more than rest for you." "Yes, Ninon.... Oh, yes." The young spaceman's eyes were puzzled, hurt. "But Ninon, I've told you before ... there is so much of you that I want to remember ... so little time left ... and you'll be gone when I get back...." know all this already. We've had space flight for years, but only rocket-powered, restricting us to our own system. Now we have a new kind of drive. Theoretically we can travel faster than light—how many times Again the young spaceman hesitated. "We ... we don't know, yet. We think that time won't have the same meaning to everyone...." "... When you travel faster than light. Is that it?" "Well ... yes. Something like that." "And I'll be—old—or dead, when you get back? If you get back?" rate at which she let all resistance ebb from her body. that Ninon permitted. She ran her fingers through the young spaceman's tousled hair and shook him gently. "It's time to go, Robert," she said. "How old are you?" "I've told you before, darling—twenty-four." "How old do you think I am?" He gazed at her in silent curiosity for a moment, then said, "Come to think of it, you've never told me. About twenty-two or -three, I'd say." "Tomorrow is my birthday. I'll be fifty-two." He stared at her in shocked amazement. Then, as his gaze went over the smooth lines of her body, the amazement gave way to disbelief, and he chuckled. "The way you said it, Ninon, almost had me believing you. You can't possibly be that old, or anywhere near it. You're joking." Ninon's voice was cold. She repeated it: "I am fifty-two years old. I knew your father, before you were born." This time she could see that he believed it. The horror he felt was easy to read on his face while he struggled to speak. "Then ... God help me ... I've been making love to ... an old woman!" His voice was low, bitter, accusing. Ninon slapped him. fingers traced across his left cheek. At last he bowed, mockingly, and said, "Your pardon, Madame. I forgot myself. My father taught me to be respectful to my elders." But of what use is it to you? I have neither money nor power. I'll be gone from this Earth in an hour. And you'll be gone from it, permanently—at your age—before I get back. I have nothing to lose, and you have nothing to gain." Venomous with triumph, Ninon's voice was harsh even to her ears. "On the contrary, my proud and impetuous young spaceman, I have much to gain, more than you could ever understand. When it was announced that you were than an hour. You'd never be able to tell Commander Pritchard in time to make any difference, and he'd never come here to see...." The young spaceman's face was white and stricken as he stared for long moments, wordless, at Ninon. Then in defeated tones he said, "You "We must hurry," she said breathlessly. "We can get to the spaceship waited until she closed the door behind her, then sped away from the Earth at the speed of light, and if we could watch it as it did so, it "And if the clock went away from Earth faster than the speed of light, "Then if people travel at the speed of light they won't get any older?" Earth they appear not to. But it's a matter of relativity...." travel faster than light, a lot faster, they'll grow younger, won't they?" Robert said, "So that's what's in your mind." He busied himself with parking the car at the spaceport, then went on: "You want to go back in the past thirty years, and be a girl again. While I grow younger, too, into a boy, then a child, a baby, at last nothing...." "I'll try to be sorry for you, Robert." more transplantations. No more the bio-knife. She could smile again, or frown again. And after a few years she could make the trip again ... and The space ship stood on fiery tiptoes and leaped from Earth, high into the heavens, and out and away. Past rusted Mars. Past the busy Uranus and Neptune and frigid, shivering Pluto. Past a senseless, "How fast are we going?" she asked "Barely crawling, astronomically," he said shortly. "About forty-six thousand miles a minute." "Is that as fast as the speed of light?" "Then make it go faster!" she screamed. "And faster and faster—hurry! now, coming toward them, faster and faster, as the ship swept out of the She asked, "How fast are we going now?" speed of light." "Make it go faster!" she cried. "Faster! Faster!" dropping behind at a rate greater than light speed. "Now how fast are we going?" she asked. She was sure that her voice was "Nearly twice light speed." "Faster!" she cried. "We must go much faster! I must be young again. Youthful, and gay, and alive and happy.... Tell me, Robert, do you feel knew—youth. Her lost youth, coming back, to be spent all over again. How wonderful! No woman in all of time and history had ever done it. She would be immortal now, Robert?" He answered without turning. "Yes. Many times the speed of light." too?" He did not answer, and Ninon kept on talking. "How long have we been going, Robert?" , she told herself. After all, no other woman, ever, had gone back through the years to be young again.... when they would land back on Earth and she could step out in all the springy vitality of a girl of twenty. And then as she watched through wheel about through space, and she knew that the ship had reached the halfway point and was turning to speed back through space to Earth, uncounted light-years behind them—or before them. And she would still to decelerate. It won't be easy or pleasant. I'll try to make you as its separate particles drifted to the metallite walls of the space ship, The light drive cut off, and the great ship slowly decelerated as it scientists say that if one could travel faster than the speed of light lived so long, to be so old in death. Space travel must be pleasant,
