ting, or anything of that sort. So they’re having children all the time-like dogs.
It’s too revolting. And to think that I. Oh, Ford, Ford, Ford! And yet John was a
great comfort to me. I don’t know what I should have done without him. Even
though he did get so upset whenever a man. Quite as a tiny boy, even. Once
(but that was when he was bigger) he tried to kill poor Waihusiwa-or was it
Popé?-just because I used to have them sometimes. Because I never could make
him understand that that was what civilized people ought to do. Being mad’s
infectious I believe. Anyhow, John seems to have caught it from the Indians.
Because, of course, he was with them a lot. Even though they always were so
beastly to him and wouldn’t let him do all the things the other boys did. Which
was a good thing in a way, because it made it easier for me to condition him
a little. Though you’ve no idea how difficult that is. There’s so much one do-
esn’t know; it wasn’t my business to know. I mean, when a child asks you how
a helicopter works or who made the world- well, what are you to answer if
you’re a Beta and have always worked in the Fertilizing Room? What are you
to answer?”
