Brave new world what is john thinking about when the crowds arrive

John begins singing while at the same time making the bow, however he reviews his promises to recall Linda and offer some kind of reparation to her spirit. Out of outrage at his neglect, John begins to beat himself with a hitched string. 
Three Delta Minus landworkers watched John beating himself, they come back to town where they enlighten everybody concerning it. After three days journalists start to arrive, attempting to get a meeting. John kicks the main man to approach him so hard that the man can't sit serenely a short time later. Alternate correspondents get a similar treatment and start to allow him to sit unbothered. A couple of float in helicopters, yet when he shoots a bolt through the floor of the closest one they too back off.
