In this chapter, Lenina sees the building of the Malpais and finds the Indian man and the building very strange. Lenina sees an old man for the first time and women breast-feeding, but is appalled at the sight. Bernard claims that she is missing out and even implies that it would be quite an experience to be a mother herself. Bernard also explains to Lenina that old age is prevented on their own reservation. After long, they soon go meet Linda, who is a disgusting, wrinkled, horrific, alchoholic who once belonged to the man named Thomas: the director.
