A
SQUAT
grey
building
of
only
thirty-four
stories
.
Over
the
main
entrance
the
words
,
CENTRAL
LONDON
HATCHERY
AND
CONDITIONING
CENTRE
,
and
,
in
a
shield
,
the
World
State's
motto
,
COMMUNITY
,
IDENTITY
,
STABILITY

The
enormous
room
on
the
ground
floor
faced
towards
the
north
.
Cold
for
all
the
summer
beyond
the
panes
,
for
all
the
tropical
heat
of
the
room
itself
,
a
harsh
thin
light
glared
through
the
windows
,
hungrily
seeking
some
draped
lay
figure
,
some
pallid
shape
of
academic
goose-flesh
,
but
finding
only
the
glass
and
nickel
and
bleakly
shining
porce-lain
of
a
laboratory
.
Wintriness
responded
to
wintriness
.
The
overalls
of
the
workers
were
white
,
their
hands
gloved
with
a
pale
corpse-coloured
rubber
.
The
light
was
frozen
,
dead
,
a
ghost
.
Only
from
the
yellow
barrels
of
the
microscopes
did
it
borrow
a
certain
rich
and
living
substance
,
lying
along
the
polished
tubes
like
butter
,
streak
after
luscious
streak
in
long
recession
down
the
work
tables
.

"
And
this
,"
said
the
Director
opening
the
door
, "
is
the
Fertilizing
Room
."

Bent
over
their
instruments
,
three
hundred
Fertilizers
were
plunged
,
as
the
Director
of
Hatcheries
and
Conditioning
entered
the
room
,
in
the
scarcely
breathing
silence
,
the
absent-minded
,
soliloquizing
hum
or
whistle
,
of
absorbed
concentration
.
A
troop
of
newly
arrived
students
,
very
young
,
pink
and
callow
,
followed
nervously
,
rather
abjectly
,
at
the
Director's
heels
.
Each
of
them
carried
a
notebook
,
in
which
,
whenever
the
great
man
spoke
,
he
desperately
scribbled
.
Straight
from
the
horse's
mouth
.
It
was
a
rare
privilege
.
The
D
.
H
.
C
.
for
Central
London
always
made
a
point
of
personally
conducting
his
new
students
round
the
various
departments
.

"
Just
to
give
you
a
general
idea
,"
he
would
explain
to
them
.
For
of
course
some
sort
of
general
idea
they
must
have
,
if
they
were
to
do
their
work
intelligently
–
though
as
little
of
one
,
if
they
were
to
be
good
and
happy
members
of
society
,
as
possible
.
For
particulars
,
as
every
one
knows
,
make
for
virtue
and
happiness
;
generalities
are
intellectually
necessary
evils
.
Not
philosophers
but
fret-sawyers
and
stamp
col-lectors
compose
the
backbone
of
society
.
