It gets worse and worse each time I summon it.”\n\n“I too have my troubles,” the friend replied. “Sometimes my ideas are interrupted by a slight jarring noise.”\n\n“What is it?”\n\n“I do not know whether it is inside my head, or inside the wall.”\n\n“Complain, in either case.”\n\n“I have complained, and my complaint will be forwarded in its turn to the Central Committee.”\n\nTime passed, and they resented the defects no longer. The defects had not been remedied, but the human tissues in that latter day had become so subservient, that they readily adapted themselves to every caprice of the Machine. The sigh at the crisis of the Brisbane symphony no longer irritated Vashti; she accepted it as part of the melody. The jarring noise, whether in the head or in the wall, was no longer resented by her friend. And so with the mouldy artificial fruit, so with the bath water that began to stink, so with the defective rhymes that the poetry machine had taken to emit. All were bitterly complained of at first, and then acquiesced in and forgotten. Things went from bad to worse unchallenged.",
