 By what were Grannie Annie and Billy-boy being watched?
There she stood before a frantically gesticulating desk clerk, leaning on her faded green umbrella. Pure fiddle-faddle, that's what they are. But to me she was still Grannie Annie, as old-fashioned as last year's hat, as modern as an atomic motor. Grannie spilled a few shreds of Martian tobacco onto a paper and deftly rolled herself a cigarette. Grannie Annie hailed a hydrocar. On the right were nine visi sets, each with its new improved pantascope panel and switchboard. I will only say that on this stage are nine visi sets, each tuned to one of the nine planets. Questions from Mars, from Earth, from Saturn flowed in the visi sets.
