BNW ch. 9 notes
after the Indian ceremony, Lenina was uneasy. She felt the need to relax and forget about the feelings she got at the reservation. In order to forget, she took six half grams of soma tablets. This was enough to give her 18 hours before she was out of it. Bernard did not get to sleep that night, instead thought about bringing John and Linda back to London. Bernard left Lenina to sleep so that he can go to Santa Fe to finish his business and come back before she woke up. At 10:47 he was on the phone with Mustaph Mond, the Controller. The Controller agreed to let them go to London. Bernard had to go pick up their permits at the Warden of the Reservations office. At 11:03, Bernard had secured the permits and said"so long" to the warden as the gates were being lifted for him to exit.
