Please give a short summary of Chapter 12.

The main action in this chapter concerns Bernard and his relationships.


At the start of the chapter, Bernard is holding a reception to show John the Savage off to a group of important people. Unfortunately for him, John refuses to come out and be put on show.  This makes Bernard sad.  But his sadness makes John like him better -- it seems more real than how he had been before.


At the same time, Bernard is trying to patch up his friendship with Helmholtz Watson.  Watson forgives Bernard, which makes Bernard feel envious of what a good guy he is.


Finally, Helmholtz and John meet and get along well.  This makes Bernard jealous as well.
