Chapter 4 notes

-Begins with Lenina publicly proving her unfaithfulness to Henry by asking Bernard about their "New Mexico plans"
-Bernard got really awkward and co fused because he has no idea what she was talking about
-"his face wore an expression of pain." 
"Benito Hoover, one of the guys that lenina had seen before and was too hair for her, was witnessing all of this. Went over to Bernard trying to talk to him but Bernard took off. Benito put a wad of sex hormone gun in his mouth and walked away after realizing the situation he just witnessed was awkward 
-"the huge table topped buildings were no more in a few seconds than a bed of geometrical mushrooms sprouting from the green if park and garden."
-lenina and Henry went flying looking down on their pefect town; ten minutes later thy were at Stoke Poges and had started their first round of Obstacle Golf 
-it shifts to Bernard thinking about his terrible size; his physique was hardly better than that of the average Gamma. He was 8 cm short than the standard alpha height and was slender in proportion, he hated his physique and was humiliated by it 
-it made him feel like an outsider, an alien, he was self conscious of his dignity 
-Bernard hops in his plane and flies to meet my. Helmholtz Watson a deep chested, massive yet quick in his movements, sparingly and agile. He was a lecturer at the college of emotional engineering 
-both men form a relationship based on both their dissatisfaction of their own bodies and lives
-Bernard tells helmoltz what Happened with lenina but Helmoltz doesn't pay much attention to it
-helmoltz focus on how he thinks his writing could be better used, and that he is dissatisfied with his writing in the moment 
-Bernard thinks someone is at the door and jumps and gets very nervous 
-helmholtz listened to Bernard with a sense of discomfort, but at the same time he felt rather ashamed for his friend and wished Barnard would show more pride
