what is the meaning of this sentence
just like the tittle, here is it: "Flaps of fresh sow’s peritoneum ready cut to the proper size came shooting up in little lifts from the Organ Store in the sub-basement".
this is quoted from brave new world by adoul huxley. I just can't understand that and I think you guys might help.
Thanks so much

Thank you very much,
btw, I got another problem in brave new world chapter one too, hope your help.
“Unforeseen wastages promptly made good.”I don't know exactly the meaning of "make good" in this sentence. is it "stoping unforessen wastages well" or "making wastage well"? I think "make good"="stoping unforessen wastages well" but I'm not sure about it.
thanks

'Make good' normally means 'compensate for', but I cannot tell from the limited context how it applies here, and I haven't read the book for at least 40 years now.
