Chapter Nine.

John tells Bernard and Lenina of the stories he had grown up listening to from his mother. His mother taught him to read using materials that she had brought from the Other place. One day his mother's lover, Pope, brought the entire collection of Shaekspeare's work and John fell in love with all of it. He has always dreamed of going to the Other Place.

Bernard invites John and his mother to accompany them back to the World State, to fulfill his dream. Bernard actually has a different reason for bringing john with him. He wants to expose John as the Director's son and embarass him. When John receives the invitation he says ' O brave new world, that has such people in it.' John also asks Bernard if Lenina is his wife. Bernard laughs and tell him absolutely not, and he still has quite alot to learn about the World State.
