The story
John Mathewson discovers a new process for refining plutonium to purities greater than 99.997 percent.
He attempts to win the affections of the single mother by inviting her teenage son Paul to take a tour of the lab.
Once they succeed, Paul declares that the plutonium alone is insufficient, as no-one would be impressed by two kids stealing something from a lab.
