A Problem for Time-travellers
Many light years away on the far side of the galaxy lies Arg, a small planet of little consequence. On a day trip from Earth by time-machine are Elizabeth Estensen, Fred Harris and Mark Dugdale.
The Argonds, a polite race of advanced dragons, find it amusing to test these visiting time-trippers.
