"I started writing in the 1930's when I was eighteen years old. And deep inside me I'm still eighteen and it's still 1938."

| Robot Rabbit | ||
| A robotic bunny. |
Maybe the first mention of a robot rabbit in science fiction.
| I was concentrating on enjoying the good food, listening with half an ear to the music, and being vaguely but pleasantly aware of the luxuriousness of my surroundings, when the two rabbits hopped up on to my table...
“All right,” I grunted. “If you are not an intelligent form of life from another world, what the blazes are you ?” “Robots, of course,” chuckled the one called Clarence... ...She gathered in the two pseudo-rabbits by their ears. “Don’t you ever do that again,” she told them. Then with another smile and apology to me she turned away. On closer acquaintance she proved to be all that her looks and smile had promised, and something plus. I achieved the supper date all right, and after that a whole string of them. That little robot rabbit knew what it was talking about when it said that she was fond of big, tough spacemen. |
