In
the
Beta
-
Minus
geography
room
John
learnt
that
"
a
savage
reservation
is
a
place
which
,
owing
to
unfavourable
climatic
or
geological
conditions
,
or
poverty
of
natural
resources
,
has
not
been
worth
the
expense
of
civilizing
.
"
A
click
;
the
room
was
darkened
;
and
suddenly
,
on
the
screen
above
the
Master
’
s
head
,
there
were
the
Penitentes
of
Acoma
prostrating
themselves
before
Our
Lady
,
and
wailing
as
John
had
heard
them
wail
,
confessing
their
sins
before
Jesus
on
the
Cross
,
before
the
eagle
image
of
Pookong
.
The
young
Etonians
fairly
shouted
with
laughter
.
Still
wailing
,
the
Penitentes
rose
to
their
feet
,
stripped
off
their
upper
garments
and
,
with
knotted
whips
,
began
to
beat
themselves
,
blow
after
blow
.
Redoubled
,
the
laughter
drowned
even
the
amplified
record
of
their
groans
.
"
But
why
do
they
laugh
?
"
asked
the
Savage
in
a
pained
bewilderment
.
"
Why
?
"
The
Provost
turned
towards
him
a
still
broadly
grinning
face
.
"
Why
?
But
because
it
’
s
so
extraordinarily
funny
.
"
In
the
cinematographic
twilight
,
Bernard
risked
a
gesture
which
,
in
the
past
,
even
total
darkness
would
hardly
have
emboldened
him
to
make
.
Strong
in
his
new
importance
,
he
put
his
arm
around
the
Head
Mistress
’
s
waist
.
It
yielded
,
willowily
.
He
was
just
about
to
snatch
a
kiss
or
two
and
perhaps
a
gentle
pinch
,
when
the
shutters
clicked
open
again
.
"
Perhaps
we
had
better
go
on
,
"
said
Miss
Keate
,
and
moved
towards
the
door
.
"
And
this
,
"
said
the
Provost
a
moment
later
,
"
is
Hypnopædic
Control
Room
.
"
Hundreds
of
synthetic
music
boxes
,
one
for
each
dormitory
,
stood
ranged
in
shelves
round
three
sides
of
the
room
;
pigeon
-
holed
on
the
fourth
were
the
paper
sound
-
track
rolls
on
which
the
various
hypnopædic
lessons
were
printed
.
"
You
slip
the
roll
in
here
,
"
explained
Bernard
,
interrupting
Dr
.
Gaffney
,
"
press
down
this
switch
.
.
.
"
"
No
,
that
one
,
"
corrected
the
Provost
,
annoyed
.
