that...the robot that Gloria calls Robbie. He doesn't leave her for a minute. well that's his his job Mr Weston said. Robbie is Gloria's nanny. And he certainly isn't a terrible machine. He's the best robot there is.
Listen to me George Mrs Weston went on angrily. I don't want a machine to take care of my daughter. Nobody knows what it's thinking.
Weston frowned. He was feeling a little angry. And his face showed that he did not understand why there was a problem. Robbie has taken care of Gloria for two years he said. You haven't been worried before.
I wasn't worried at firt said Grace. But George interrupted his wife. Grace he said. Robbie was and nice. But something might happen and that...that thing will go crazy and... Grace couldn't finish her sentence.
That's impossible Grace he said. Robbie was made to take care of a little child. He was made to be genthe and nice. But something might happen and that that thing will go That's impossible George said. We discussed the First Law of Robotics when we bought Robbie when we bought Robbie. You know that a robot cannot harm a human. Anyway you can't take him away from Gloria. She loves Robbie. But George Grace said. Gloria won't play with the other children. She only wants to be with that machine. We've got to get rid of that horridle thing. It frightens me. You can sell it back to U.S.Robots. I've asked someone at the company about this.
George was much angrier now. No Grace he said. We're keeping the robot until Gloria is older. I don't want to hear any more about it.
Mr and Mrs Weston argued about Robbie for a week. And each time Mr Weston said Robbie stays But each time his reply was weaker.
Finally Weston went to speak to his daughter.
