X-19, girl ...was talkn to eminent historyn frend, her employr. "Seems only yestrday" he remarkt, in reverie, U were a lil testube. U'v alterd so greatly!" Indeed she had. Aditionly, a socialogicl developmnt'd been introduced into her nature of which he wasnt aware: X-19 was a throbak! That all men were fashiond to formula dint please her; that all women were identicl in apearance was intolerabl. "Y only othr day" she asertd "frend mine went way. Had robotwin of him made & his wife dint kno dif for whole yr!"
From here somehow conversation moved round to maryage. Th Historyn soon was to take a bride. X-19 broke down: "When all life is created in testubes y must we mary? Y must we mary!" Rhetoricl rebelion against civilization, against all th standrds of that distnt day.
But he only blandly replyd "Y to discourage romance ofcourse."

X-19 exploded. If only she could'v livd in th past! Th unpredictabl past! How marvy life must'v been then "...when there were cyclones & earthquakes & tornados & all kinds excitemnt..! U nevr knew what was gonto hapn next!"
But even in th 30th Century some surprises were pos. Justhen in walkt #57, X-19's apointd husband-to-be. For firstime in yrs: Triangl! People customaryly met in 2s, 4s, 6s--even nos.; but here were These 3! & they liked it..!
