The director becomes nostalgic by mentioning his own trip to Reservation twenty years ago with a woman who was never to be recovered. When Bernard applies for permission to visit the reservation, he has to go through the rigors of listening to the director’s tales before winning it. Meanwhile, Bernard meets his friend, Helmholtz Watson, for having disenchanted from the World Estate on account of their shortcomings. Engaged in work, Lenina then informs Bernard that she would be gladdened to have the trip to the Savage Reservation. Meanwhile, Bernard becomes furious about Lenina’s mention in the conversation of Henry and one of the assistants.
