Narrator of "The Third and Final Continent" Timeline and Summary

As a young man, the narrator leaves India and goes to London in order to get an education.
In 1969, at the age of 36, he enters into an arranged marriage while preparing to move to America, where he's taken a job at MIT's library.
He spends one week with his new wife in India and then flies off to Cambridge, where he decides to rent a room in a large house owned by an elderly lady named Mrs. Croft.
Although Mrs. Croft is a little eccentric, the narrator sits with her in the evenings after work and they talk about the moon landing.
Mrs. Croft's daughter visits and the narrator discovers Mrs. Croft is 103 but very independent, which makes him nervous and reminds him of his mother who died of insanity.
On Fridays he always hands the rent directly into her hands because her hands can't grasp things well.
One day, while out walking, he sees a dog snap at an Indian woman, which makes him think about his responsibilities to Mala, his wife who's still in India waiting for her immigration documents to be ready.
In preparation for Mala, he moves out of Mrs. Croft's house and into an apartment.
When Mala arrives, things are awkward until the narrator takes Mala to visit Mrs. Croft.
Mrs. Croft calls her a lady, which leads to the first shared, intimate moment between Mala and the narrator.
From that point on, the narrator gives us a summary of their life together: they move to a house in the suburbs of Boston; raise a son who eventually attends Harvard; and live happily together.
