"'And all the science propaganda we do at the College...'
'Yes; but what sort of science?' asked Mustapha Mond sarcastically. 'You've had no scientific training, so you can't judge. I was a pretty good physicist in my time....'" (pg. 225)
This quote has a rhetorical question in it when Mustapha Mond says "...but what sort of science?" He doesn't expect an answer and continues on with his explanation. Mustapha only says it to emphasize that there is no science, and he really doesn't even know what science is. Helmholtz silently agreed with Mustapha as he had no reason not to believe him. Mustapha Mond ended up telling the three troublemakers that they would be going to an island. Bernard erupts with anger and had to be taken out of the room to be put to sleep with soma. If I were told I was going to be sent to an island, I probably would erupt too. But somehow, John and Helmholtz stay calm. They just want to learn more about what Mustapha has to say.
