Part 7 Section 22 Summary

The year is 1923. Since Harry was not in good health, it was only the chauffeur who came to fetch Olivia now. Harry is though well enough to quarrel with her: he says she shouldn't be at the palace; she says Douglas says the same about him. He mentions having quarreled with the Nawab (over his not having introduced her to the Begum). H tells Olivia how the Nawab avoids questions he doesn't want to answer, first by laughing at the questioner and then at the question. The Nawab later tells Olivia that she should direct all her questions explicitly to him. Sundays though she spends with Douglas. In the evenings, they usually walk in the graveyard. When she asks him about the "dacoits," he does not respond.
