Pages 30-31: "'Strange,' mused the Director, as they turned away, 'strange to think that even in Our Ford's day most games were played without more apparatus than a ball or two and a few sticks and perhaps a bit of netting.'"
I cannot help but stop here and try to figure something out. Who is "Our Ford?!" Finally, after I digressed in my reading, I think that I have an idea. In an earlier page, Ford was connected to the Model T, which was the first car ever invented. So I think that "Our Ford" is actually Henry Ford. But why Henry Ford? He seems really random right now. However, I believe that the community may for some reason idolize this man and think of him almost as a god. I'm not quite sure why though. It may be because he was a great engineer, or there may be another reason. I am interested to see the part that Ford plays in the rest of the novel.
