“Their harmony was now perfect” (423). Eadith/Eddie has found a way to love her mother, who must be Eadie's daughter; “He felt like petting his mother, regardless of the embarrassment it would probably cause them both” (423). Eadie also accepts her daughter's love and asks Eadith/Eddie to come home with her; “…we could live together. I can see us washing our hair and sitting together in the garden drying it” (425). Eadie says “…now that I have found her Eadith Eddie, no matter what fragment of myself I lost is now back in its place” (431-432). Solving the problem with Eadith, Eadith/Eddie has another problem to deal with, which is the love between Gravenor and him. He/she receives a letter from Gravenor, in which he/she writes: ...I like to think that those other automatons that you and I created for ourselves out of our inhibitions were human beings underneath, and that we could have loved each other, completely and humanely , if we had found the courage. Men and women are not the only members of the human hierarchy to which you and I can also aspire
