BNW Reading Log Chapter 5

Summary - Lenina and Henry get back in his helicopter after playing obstacle golf. Lenina studies the view before asking about the crematory. They discuss how the different social classes feel about everything. Henry actually thinks about it, and for a moment, he appears to see everyone equal - but just for a second - saying everyone ends up the same. They land and wander the Westminster Abbey to listen to the sexophonists and dance. They dance until they hear the voice overhead say goodbye, and Henry brings her back to his apartment.
