Carl Hollywood takes the Oath at Westminster Abbey, symbolizing his formal affiliation with the New Atlantis phyle, and then encounters Lord Finkle-McGraw along the Thames. Their conversation reveals the phyle's complex approach to nurturing artistic talent, including fostering subversiveness and the significance of the Young Lady's Illustrated Primer project. The chapter also highlights Miranda's deep involvement with Nell's Primer and the mysterious efforts to connect with her through unconventional means, hinting at broader implications for the entertainment industry and collective unconscious.
