Tony freed her and disappeared from sight. It was then that Claire realized that Tony had opened the curtains of the front window. Her guests had seen everything! The women were impressed by Claire, the house and the delicious cuisine. What a sweet victory to be envied by those women! Then she remembered--Tony was just a machine. She shouted "Leave me alone"and ran to her bed. She cried all night. The next morning a car drove up and took Tony away. Even though Tony had been so clever, he would have to be rebuilt-you cannot have women falling in love with machines.
