Archwizard: You seem to have managed to upset quite a few people - not just your ex-domestic, but also the Ministry of Labour and its Robot Supervision Section. Zargon: Well, the robot just walked out on me - someone must have altered its programming! Archwizard: Time you got up to date, Zargon - these modern androids and robots are much cleverer than you think - and they have the ability to reason. Clearly your domestic felt she was being rejected when you fetched that floozie in to play housekeeper. Then you sent a rather dim heavy to fetch her back - and that is against all the rules - especially the ones we are expected to follow! Zargon: Yes, but - Archwizard: There are no buts, Zargon, no exceptions - and if you upset the powers-that-be you'll find yourself off-planet and back home to explain yourself to the Grand Wizard and the Council. We cannot afford to be thought of as the sort of people who consider themselves above the law. Now, if that is thoroughly understood ... Zargon: I suppose so - Archwizard: No supposing - Yes or No? Zargon: Yes, then. Archwizard: And you will treat any such domestics as real people in future, then - pay them a decent wage, talk to them, discuss ideas and so on? Zargon: (reluctantly) Yes. And I do need a domestic - I have so much to do. Archwizard: I understand you've had your licence to employ mechanical help revoked. Better hope someone might actually volunteer to work for you. Learn to smile more while you're waiting.
