"He came in at once, paused for a moment just inside the door, looked round, then soft on his moccasined feet strode quickly across the room, fell on his knees in front of the Director, and said in a clear voice: "My father!" PAGE 151
Well this experience was certainly one that those who witnessed it will never forget. The fact that the director had fathered a child was big news. The accounts of the story will probably spread quickly throughout the hatchery. The director did not want to believe it. He pretended not to remember, but Linda would not let it go. I think she should have just moved on rather than pushing the issue. Now his life as he knows it is at risk, now that people know he is a father. Deep down, I think the director was happy to see Linda. It probably put him at ease to know that she was still alive, however savage she looked. The way he had told the story to Bernard made me think that he still worried about her and what had happened. I am interested to see what happens next. Will the family join together like we are used to or will they continue to live as the society does.
