(You don"t want Earth to become a Galactic ward.) In the normal run of events this would be fine, because Tom and Lucy are the kind of folks any race might be proud to have represent them. The trouble is that while Tom is a regular fellow, Lucy is or may be a Wilf. And Magnificent or not, you know what that means...
