half open. The light was off, but my wife says that on the floor beside her and the little table there was something like a disc a bit larger than a fifty-peseta coin that was phosphorescing a great deal and she could be seen quite well. She sat up and my wife asked if she wanted anything, that she was nervous thinking she might be uncomfortable. My wife says she had on a big kind of bathrobe. As the light was tenuous, she could not distinguish the material. They spoke a few words and left again. In the corridor she spoke with the other woman. They talked a long time in low voices. This "Senorita" turned out to be married, with a hu sband on UMMO, and she had been selected for our planet. There on UMMO she was, as we would say, a teacher of a specialty of mathematics and her mission on Earth my wife did not know how to explain very well, but apparently it was related to the study of the history of the physicists who were here in bygone ages. While in Mexico she had committed a disobedience and it seems she was being punished We got up early. The two women were already chatting in the dining room.They requested permission to go into the bathroom. First the older of them bathed and YU stayed out talking with me. Then she went in too. A strange thing that my wife observed was that they had not used the towels or soap in spite of the fact that the bathtub had been used. The yellow patch on the floor was no longer there. Nothing could be found even with a magnifying glass! They wanted no breakfast but insisted that we have ours. Another thing occurred. wile YU One was talking with us, the other woman stood looking closely at all the dininwroom furniture. The younger one noticed it and this time in their language she said something in a tone that sounded gentle to us, but the older woman, UUO, blushed, her lips trewibled and her eyes moistened. w pretended not to notice this and continued talking. They left early and returned that night. We shall never forget the conversations we had with that young woman. My wife was so impressed that she confessed to me that now she truely believes they were from UMMO. Furthermore, that same day, the 27th, DEI 98 came and dictated several things to me, among them letters you would receive. One told of the arrival in Brazil, Bolivia and Spain of their interplanetary ships. He dictated more reports and said he would continue doing so Sunday and tuesday because he did not know if their Superior would give all of them orders to depart, but he suspected she would, because he knew no one would be 51 by having to serve her chief as a maid. In short, a long story.
