"Kill it, kill it, kill it …" The Savage went on shouting.Then suddenly somebody started singing "Orgy-porgy" and, in a moment, they had all caught up the refrain and, singing, had begun to dance.Orgy-porgy, round and round and round, beating one another in six-eight time.Orgy-porgy …It was after midnight when the last of the helicopters took its flight.Stupefied by soma, and exhausted by a long-drawn frenzy of sensuality, the Savage lay sleeping in the heather.The sun was already high when he awoke. He lay for a moment,"Oh, my God, my God!" He covered his eyes with his hand.That evening the swarm of helicopters that came buzzing across the Hog's Back was a dark cloud ten kilometres long.The description of last night's orgy of atonement had been in all the papers."Savage!" called the first arrivals, as they alighted from their machine.
