What a scream it was! Philippa, Chadwick, and myself, had all been appointed by the head of the FBI to investigate whether Cassandra was acting as a secret agent for the Chinese government.
Of course she wasn’t! All four of us, Philippa, Chadwick, Cassandra, and me, were all working as secret agents for the same “foreign government”. And it wasn’t China.
What a hoot! Of course the three of us all found Cassandra guilty. We produced irrefutable evidence. Cassandra, to put it mildly, had been a total pain in the side for some time. “Catty” would be the polite word for it. We were therefore happy to show evidence of her guilt. Eventually she was taken out and shot for treason. She wasn’t exactly “shot”; she was put down in a humane way.
All we need do was to report her demise to our “foreign government”. The FBI had been close to discovering the truth about Cassandra. So we had to get rid of her. It could uncover the cover of us three remaining agents.
The QXQZL were delighted we had acted in the best interests of our planet. We will be richly rewarded once the spacecraft comes to take us home.
(Footnote: I shall be away until next Saturday. The stories will still appear. Feel free to comment but know that I possibly will not be able to respond!)
If there’s one thing the Ancient Greeks taught us it’s that everyone loves a Cassandra.

So you are leaving on the spacecraft for the weekend? After all, someone must present the true account of whatever happened to the alien agent.

I am reading your wonderful memoir, and think you had a wonderful family. Tears of laughter ran down my cheeks at the climax of this chapter: http://stagebarn.com/naomi/boyhood/8bees/bees8.html

Which planet will you be visiting? Not that there’s any reason I’d want to know. At all.
