Tony freed her and disappeared from sight. It was then that Claire realized that Tony had opened the curtains of the front window. It was her guests who had seen everything! The women were impressed by Claire and the house. Just before they left，Claire heard Gladys whispering to another woman that she had never seen anyone so handsome as Tony. What a sweet victory to be envied by those women!

    The next morning a car drove up and took Tony away. The company was very pleased with Tony’s report on his three weeks with Claire. Tony had protected a human from being harmed. He had prevented Claire from harming herself through her own sense of failure. He had opened the curtains that night so that the other women would see him and Claire，knowing that there was no risk to Claire’s marriage. But even though Tony had been so clever，he would have to be rebuilt — you cannot have women falling in love with machines.
