10 |
This
chapter begins with the Director and Henry Foster preparing for the arrival of Bernard,
after which the Director plans to send him to Iceland. The Director justifies his actions,
saying, "Unorthodoxy threatens more than the life of a mere individual; it strikes at
Society itself." Later, in front of Bernard and the whole crowd gathered in the room
he asserts, "For this reason I propose to dismiss him, to dismiss him with ignominy
from the post he has held in this Centre; I propose forthwith to apply for his
transference to a Sub-Centre of the lowest order and, that his punishment may serve the
best interest of Society..." Soon the Director asks Bernard if theres any reason
why he shouldnt be dismissed; he is surprised when Bernard responds in the
affirmative and quickly leads Linda and John into the room. The Director is astonished and
embarrassed while the rest of the crowd thinks that the whole matter is extremely
hilarious. When Linda (now old and fat) cries to the Director, saying she has had his son,
a hush falls over the crowd. The Director immediately resigns his post and Bernard is at
least temporarily saved from Iceland. |
