Chapter 9

The story really just continues Lenina takes enough soma to incapacitate herself for eighteen hours. Bernard flies to Santa Fé to call Mustapha Mond. He repeats his story to a succession of secretaries before finally reaching the World Controller. Mond agrees that John and Linda are a matter of scientific interest to the World State. He instructs Bernard to visit the Warden of the Reservation to pick up the orders that will release John and Linda into his care. Meanwhile, fearful that Bernard and Lenina have left without him, John breaks into the cabin where Lenina is still on soma-holiday. He rifles through her things before he finds her passed out on the bed. This is the part where he thinks of what he really wants to do to her but then manages to control himself. But the Savage manages to control himself and that shows us that there is a was to reverse what the director and his predecessors have created. This was In my opinion one of the key moments in the story.
