"
Well
,
I
did
,
"
said
Weston
.
"
But
,
Grace
,
how
was
I
to
know
the
reunion
would
be
so
violent
?
And
Robbie
has
saved
her
life
;
you
'll
have
to
admit
that
.
You
ca
n't
send
him
away
again
.
"
272
Grace
Weston
considered
.
She
turned
toward
Gloria
and
Robbie
and
watched
them
abstractedly
for
a
moment
.
Gloria
had
a
grip
about
the
robot
's
neck
that
would
have
asphyxiated
any
creature
but
one
of
metal
,
and
was
prattling
nonsense
in
half-hysterical
frenzy
.
Robbie
's
chromesteel
arms
(
capable
of
bending
a
bar
of
steel
two
inches
in
diameter
into
a
pretzel
)
wound
about
the
little
girl
gently
and
lovingly
,
and
his
eyes
glowed
a
deep
,
deep
red
.

"
Well
,
"
said
Mrs.
Weston
,
at
last
,
"
I
guess
he
can
stay
with
us
until
he
rusts
.

Susan
Calvin
shrugged
her
shoulders
,
"
Of
course
,
he
did
n't
.
That
was
1998
.
By
2002
,
we
had
invented
the
mobile
speaking
robot
which
,
of
course
,
made
all
the
non-speaking
models
out
of
date
,
and
which
seemed
to
be
the
final
straw
as
far
as
the
non-robot
elements
were
concerned
.
Most
of
the
world
governments
banned
robot
use
on
Earth
for
any
purpose
other
than
scientific
research
between
2003
and
2007
.
"
275
"
So
that
Gloria
had
to
give
up
Robbie
eventually
?
"
276
"
I
'm
afraid
so
.
I
imagine
,
however
,
that
it
was
easier
for
her
at
the
age
of
fifteen
than
at
eight
.
Still
,
it
was
a
stupid
and
unnecessary
attitude
on
the
part
of
humanity
.
U.
S.
Robots
hit
its
low
point
,
financially
,
just
about
the
time
I
joined
them
in
2007
.
At
first
,
I
thought
my
job
might
come
to
a
sudden
end
in
a
matter
of
months
,
but
then
we
simply
developed
the
extra-Terrestrial
market
.
"
277
"
And
then
you
were
set
,
of
course
.

Not
quite
.
We
began
by
trying
to
adapt
the
models
we
had
on
hand
.
Those
first
speaking
models
,
for
instance
.
They
were
about
twelve
feet
high
,
very
clumsy
and
not
much
good
.
We
sent
them
out
to
Mercury
to
help
build
the
mining
station
there
,
but
that
failed
.
"
279
I
looked
up
in
surprise
,
"
It
did
?
Why
,
Mercury
Mines
is
a
multi-billion
dollar
concern
.
"
280
"
It
is
now
,
but
it
was
a
second
attempt
that
succeeded
.
It
you
want
to
know
about
that
,
young
man
,
I
'd
advise
you
to
look
up
Gregory
Powell
.
He
and
Michael
Donovan
handled
our
most
difficult
cases
in
the
teens
and
twenties
.
