chapter ten.

At the beginning of this chapter, while Bernard is trying to get ahold of the Controller, to get permission to bring Linda and John back to London, John fears that they have left without him. John runs to the cabin on the reservation where Lenina and Bernard had been staying. John finds Lenina, on the bed, in a soma coma. He stares at her, with the desire to touch her, and resites Shakespeare. John hears Bernards helicopter and runs away.

Back at the Conditioning Centre, the Director tells Henry that he is going to dismiss Bernard in front of high-caste workers, trying to set an example. He says the Bernard threatens stability, and sacrificing one person for stability is worth ( after all they can produce dozens of new babies by the time he's gone.)

When Lenina and Bernard return home, with Linda and John, Bernard announces infront of all the workers (that were there to see Bernard get dismissed) that John is the Director's child. Linda tells her story, and John falls to his knees and exclaims 'My father!.' The entire crowd bursts into laughter, and the Dircetor runs out of the room, embarassed.
