| Summary | "That Sweet Little Old Lady" by Randall Garrett and Laurence M. Janifer is a science fiction story written in the late 1950s. The narrative revolves around a telepathic spy who is a threat to national security, as explored through the experiences of the protagonist, FBI agent Kenneth Malone. As Malone is tasked with finding this spy, he unexpectedly discovers the involvement of a seemingly innocent elderly lady who claims to be Queen Elizabeth I, adding elements of humor and intrigue to the unfolding mystery. At the start of the story, we are introduced to the pressures facing the FBI as they grapple with the existence of an unseen telepath who is stealing classified information. Agent Andrew Burris expresses his frustration over the situation, tasking Malone with locating a telepath to counter the spy threat. As Malone investigates, he meets the eccentric Miss Thompson, who believes she is the immortal Queen Elizabeth I. The opening sets the stage for a blend of espionage and comedy, as Malone navigates the challenges of uncovering a telepathic agent while managing the whims of a charmingly delusional old lady.
