And
then
the
reading
lessons
:
The
tot
is
in
the
pot
,
the
cat
is
on
the
mat
;
and
the
Elementary
Instructions
for
Beta
Workers
in
the
Embryo
Store
.
And
long
evenings
by
the
fire
or
,
in
summertime
,
on
the
roof
of
the
little
house
,
when
she
told
him
those
stories
about
the
Other
Place
,
outside
the
Reservation
:
that
beautiful
,
beautiful
Other
Place
,
whose
memory
,
as
of
a
heaven
,
a
paradise
of
goodness
and
loveliness
,
he
still
kept
whole
and
intact
,
undefiled
by
contact
with
the
reality
of
this
real
London
,
these
actual
civilized
men
and
women
.
A
sudden
noise
of
shrill
voices
made
him
open
his
eyes
and
,
after
hastily
brushing
away
the
tears
,
look
round
.
What
seemed
an
interminable
stream
of
identical
eight
?
year
-
old
male
twins
was
pouring
into
the
room
.
Twin
after
twin
,
twin
after
twin
,
they
came
a
nightmare
.
Their
faces
,
their
repeated
face
for
there
was
only
one
between
the
lot
of
them
puggishly
stared
,
all
nostrils
and
pale
goggling
eyes
.
Their
uniform
was
khaki
.
All
their
mouths
hung
open
.
Squealing
and
chattering
they
entered
.
In
a
moment
,
it
seemed
,
the
ward
was
maggoty
with
them
.
They
swarmed
between
the
beds
,
clambered
over
,
crawled
under
,
peeped
into
the
television
boxes
,
made
faces
at
the
patients
.
Linda
astonished
and
rather
alarmed
them
.
A
group
stood
clustered
at
the
foot
of
her
bed
,
staring
with
the
frightened
and
stupid
curiosity
of
animals
suddenly
confronted
by
the
unknown
.

"
Oh
,
look
,
look
!
"
They
spoke
in
low
,
scared
voices
.
"
Whatever
is
the
matter
with
her
?
Why
is
she
so
fat
?
"
They
had
never
seen
a
face
like
hers
before
had
never
seen
a
face
that
was
not
youthful
and
taut
-
skinned
,
a
body
that
had
ceased
to
be
slim
and
upright
.
All
these
moribund
sexagenarians
had
the
appearance
of
childish
girls
.
At
forty
-
four
,
Linda
seemed
,
by
contrast
,
a
monster
of
flaccid
and
distorted
senility
.
"
Isn
t
she
awful
?
"
came
the
whispered
comments
.
"
Look
at
her
teeth
!

Suddenly
from
under
the
bed
a
pug
-
faced
twin
popped
up
between
John
s
chair
and
the
wall
,
and
began
peering
into
Linda
s
sleeping
face
.
"
I
say
.
.
.
"
he
began
;
but
the
sentence
ended
prematurely
in
a
squeal
.
The
Savage
had
seized
him
by
the
collar
,
lifted
him
clear
over
the
chair
and
,
with
a
smart
box
on
the
ears
,
sent
him
howling
away
.
His
yells
brought
the
Head
Nurse
hurrying
to
the
rescue
.
