How It All Goes Down
- At Mrs. Ali's family's house, the Major learns that her brother-in-law, Dave Ali, is basically keeping her cut off from the outside world.
- Mrs. Ali did write, but Dave never sent her letters.
- Mrs. Ali shoos her brother-in-law away to talk to the Major privately, and she says that she also intended to keep the Kipling. It's all been a big misunderstanding.
- The Major offers to take Mrs. Ali away somewhere, if she wants.
- Mrs. Ali says yes. "We must leave now, before they try to stop me" (21.82).
- And off the Major and Mrs. Ali go, faster than any two old people have moved since RED 2.
