"I admit I haven't gotten out of my own head very often beyond meals and walking the paths here in the village to evaluate construction styles. I haven't met anyone named Tony. But I consider myself quite fortunate to have made your acquaintance Miss Hawke."

Except to do far more complicated tasks than, say, a mill. Imagine, if you will, an artificial arm of metal, where each finger could move and grip like a real finger. A real hand. Or, in my own realm of focus, an artificial feline that walks on its rear legs and can speak and interact with the world."
