Brave New World By Aldous Huxley


                           "We–want–the whip! We–want …"


                           And all of a sudden they had what they


            wanted.


                           "Strumpet!" The Savage had rushed at her


            like a madman. "Fitchew!" Like a madman, he was


            slashing at her with his  whip of small cords.



                           Terrified, she had turned to flee, had tripped


            and fallen in the heather. "Henry, Henry!" she


            shouted. But her  ruddy-faced companion had bolted


            out of harm's way behind the helicopter.


                           With a whoop of delighted excitement the


            line broke; there was a convergent stampede


            towards that magnetic  centre of attraction. Pain


            was a fascinating horror.


                           "Fry, lechery, fry!" Frenzied, the Savage


            slashed again.


                           Hungrily they gathered round, pushing and



            scrambling like swine about the trough.


                           "Oh, the flesh!" The Savage ground his


            teeth. This time it was on his shoulders that the


            whip descended. "Kill it, kill it!"
