Claire’s feelings toward Tony changed as the story developed.
Tony was taken away and had to be rebuilt...
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 being from harm when he prevented Claire from falling off a ladder. He had also opened the curtains that night so that the other women would see him and Claire, which would make them envy Claire. But even though Tony had been so clever, he would have to be rebuilt — you cannot have women falling in love with machines.
