-               John Gardner made up his mind to buy his
-            wife a very unusual present--one she could not
-            resist. So he asked the salesman to show him--
-
-                         The Obedient Servant
-
-                          By S. M. Tenneshaw

-           [Transcriber's Note: This etext was produced from
-              Imagination Stories of Science and Fantasy
-                               June 1956
-         Extensive research did not uncover any evidence that
-         the U.S. copyright on this publication was renewed.]

-
-They quarreled at breakfast. This was not strange because they
-quarreled often. But it bothered him after he'd called for his car and
-was on the way to his office, he realized she was the only one left.
-
-The realization came suddenly and now he was frightened--this strange
-man who needed friends as a spider needs flies--in order to survive.
-His wealth had drawn them of course; a fact he refused to believe.
-But even unlimited resources could not hold them and insult and abuse
-drove them all finally away. Yet he continued to insult and abuse while
-painfully seeing them leave. Because that was the kind of man he was.
-
-Until now they were all gone, the dear ones, the relatives, even the
-fawners and he realized in panic that only Dolores was left.
-
-_But she will stay. There is no cause to worry. She will stay because
-she loves me because she married me._
-
-But he was nervous. He knew this quarrel had to be patched up because
-he had too much at stake. And knowing only one way to patch a
-quarrel, he frowned and pondered. A gift of course, but what? She had
-everything. Another diamond necklace? Another ruby ring? Somehow he
-felt neither would do the trick this time. The quarrel had been very
-bitter.
-
-Then he remembered and smiled and told his chauffeur, "There is a store
-I noticed in the International Building. Kamiss and Company. Stop off
-there...."
-
-He marched into the richly decorated showroom and said, "I'm John
-Gardner of Gardner Industries. I understand you've got something new."
-
-The clerk almost snapped his spine bowing. John Gardner! Mr. Billions
-himself! If he could get him on the customer list it would be a
-tremendous prestige boost. "Indeed we have, sir. I imagine you are
-referring to our new unit--_Domestic Two_?"
-
-"I don't know what you call it, but it's the servant-robot you people
-have spent millions publicizing. Will it actually do what you claim?"
-
-"Oh, yes. Our advertising was underplayed if anything. You see, Mr.
-Gardner, robots have been found quite satisfactory for assembling
-work--manufacturing operations and the like, where they functioned as
-mere automatons."
-
-"I know," Gardner said coldly. "I use seven hundred of them in
-small-parts assembly."
-
-"But only now has Kamiss been able to individualize the robot and endow
-it with a real intelligence. The process involved a new sensitizer
-we developed. This device is motivated by a micro-wave control
-individualized to the unit itself. The result, Mr. Gardner, is basic
-intelligence and unswerving devotion. Each unit is--"
-
-"You talk too much," Gardner growled with his usual tact. "Trot one of
-the things out and let me look it over."
-
-"Certainly sir," and the clerk scurried away, fearful of offending this
-powerful man.
-
-       *       *       *       *       *
-
-A few moments later, the drapes parted and a robot walked into the
-room. Gardner scowled at it. He was disappointed. "Rather tall isn't
-it?"
-
-The clerk, following close behind the robot, said, "True, but its
-dimensions are the result of exhaustive scientific research. The height
-is nine-feet-three and one-quarter inches, the arm-span six-feet-two
-inches. The body and the appendages are well padded with our new
-_Vino-Live Plasticene_--almost a flesh-equivalent. The hands you will
-note, sir, are absolute masterpieces of human ingenuity. The unit can
-powder a rock or pick up a pin. Let me demonstrate."
-
-"It's about time," Gardner growled.
-
-The demonstration was spectacular. The robot took a one-inch steel bar
-in its hands and formed a loop. It threaded an old-fashioned sewing
-needle, then picked up a fragile vase and moved it tenderly across the
-room.
-
-The clerk beamed with justifiable pride. "Tell the gentleman your
-qualifications, Raymond."
-
-The robot looked at Gardner through two blue electronic eyes and said,
-"I can perform any task a human servant can perform. And I will be more
-devoted and loyal than a human servant could possibly be. Your commands
-will be obeyed without question. Your wishes will always be fulfilled
-to the limit of my power. You and you alone will be my god."
-
-The salesman coughed apologetically. "A little flowery, I'm afraid, but
-our advertising and sales engineers demanded it."
-
-"Where does the voice come from?"
-
-"Another Kamiss innovation. An ultrasonic selector draws the words from
-a storage wire attuned to--"
-
-"Enough chatter. I'll take one."
-
-The salesman beamed. "Where would you like it delivered, sir?"
-
-"I'll take it with me. I plan it as a surprise gift for my wife."
-
-The salesman's smile vanished. "Then perhaps you could bring the lady
-here to our establishment--"
-
-"No," Gardner scowled. "Why should I?"
-
-"As I was endeavoring to explain, sir, the units are, of necessity,
-completely individualized. The controlling factor is the electronic
-wavelength of the owner's brain. As you know, the frequency of every
-human brain varies. No two are alike. That is the key to the whole
-concept of _Domestic Two_. We--"
-
-"Will you quit babbling and get to the point!" Gardner bellowed. "Tell
-me in simple words why I can't take the robot with me!"
-
-"Because, sir," the clerk answered in a frightened voice, "to be of
-any value to your wife, the unit will have to be keyed to her brain
-frequency."
-
-Gardner stomped the floor. "Then you've wasted my time. We can't do
-business. My wife would never come down here."
-
-"But the adjustment takes only a few minutes--"
-
-"We had a quarrel, you fool! She won't even unlock her bedroom door for
-me. The whole idea of this thing was something to surprise her out of
-her anger and bring about a reconciliation."
-
-Gardner was striding toward the door. The clerk was frantic. This sale
-would have got him Company recognition. In desperation, he hurried
-after Gardner.
-
-"May I make a suggestion, sir?"
-
-Gardner turned. "All right--make it."
-
-"It occurred to me that you might have the unit attuned to your own
-frequency--temporarily, that is. You could present it to the lady, then
-at her leisure, she could call here and have the frequency changed to
-correspond to her own."
-
-Gardner scowled. "Well, why didn't you say that in the first place?
-How long does this adjustment take?"
-
-"Only a few minutes," the clerk, said eagerly. "If you will just step
-this way, sir. Come Raymond...."
-
-       *       *       *       *       *
-
-Raymond sat hunched beside the chauffeur who was a trifle nervous. But
-the chauffeur hid his agitation because John Gardner paid well and
-had been known to discharge chauffeurs who displeased him and leave
-them standing on street corners without jobs. Gardner ordered him to
-turn and go back home. As they rode, Raymond stared straight ahead, a
-pleasant light glowing in his blue eyes.
-
-When the car stopped under the portico, Gardner said, "Get out and open
-the door, Raymond."
-
-The robot said, "Yes, master," and obeyed instantly.
-
-The chauffeur, shouldered aside by the robot, looked worried. Gardner
-noted this and enjoyed adding to the man's discomfort: "Maybe they
-build one that can drive a car. In that case I won't be needing you
-much longer."
-
-Inside, the robot gently lifted Gardner's coat from his shoulders,
-hung it in the closet, then returned to Gardner's side. "Have you any
-further wishes, Master?"
-
-_Aladdin's genie come true_, Gardner thought, and amused himself for
-a few minutes putting the robot through a series of grotesque duties.
-Amazing! Perhaps he would get one of these units for himself also.
-
-Then he turned his mind to Dolores. She was no doubt still in her room.
-But this new toy would make her forget their quarrel all right. He
-visualized her laughing interest. He could already see her clapping her
-hands like the child she was and rushing into his arms.
-
-Gardner turned to the robot. "Raymond, go up the stairs and knock on
-the first door to your right. It is your mistress' room. Tell her I'm
-waiting. Bring her to me."
-
-The robot nodded and Gardner thought a look of adoration glowed in its
-eyes. It said, "Yes Master," and moved toward the stairs.
-
-Gardner sat down. He smiled to himself, anticipating the reunion.
-It wasn't every wife whose husband could go out and buy her a
-thirty-thousand-dollar toy.
-
-There was the crash of rending wood. The sound chilled Gardner, froze
-him so that the angry scream that followed was anticlimax. But it
-brought movement back into his legs and he lunged toward the stairs. He
-bellowed an order.
-
-Too late. The robot was already descending. It carried the dead body of
-Dolores in its steel arms. Her head hung limply on a horribly twisted
-neck.
-
-"She refused to come, Master," the robot said.

-Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
-
-Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
-electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of
-computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It
-exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations
-from people in all walks of life.
-
-Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
-assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
-goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
-remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
-Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
-and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future
-generations. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary
-Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help, see
-Sections 3 and 4 and the Foundation information page at
-www.gutenberg.org
-
-Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary
-Archive Foundation
-
-The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non-profit
-501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the
-state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal
-Revenue Service. The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification
-number is 64-6221541. Contributions to the Project Gutenberg Literary

-
-Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
-Literary Archive Foundation
-
-Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without
-widespread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
-increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
-freely distributed in machine-readable form accessible by the widest
-array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations
-($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
-status with the IRS.
-
-The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
-charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
-States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
-considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
-with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations
-where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND
-DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular
-state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate
-
-While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
-have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
-against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
-approach us with offers to donate.
-
-International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
-any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
-outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
-
-Please check the Project Gutenberg web pages for current donation
-methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other
-ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To
-donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate
-
-Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works
-
-Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project
-Gutenberg-tm concept of a library of electronic works that could be
-freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and
-distributed Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of
-volunteer support.
-
-Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
-editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in
-the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not
-necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper
-edition.
-
-Most people start at our website which has the main PG search
-facility: www.gutenberg.org
-
-This website includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
-including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
-Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
-subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
