A Passage to India Part 2, Chapter 23

By E.M. Forster

Part 2, Chapter 23

Since all the steamships are booked, Lady Allenby, the wife of the Lieutenant-General, graciously offers Mrs. Moore passage in her own cabin on a ship back to England.
Mrs. Moore takes the train through central India to Bombay. She's impressed with what she sees, particularly Asirgarh.
She feels as though the India she's seeing on her train ride is so different from the Marabar Caves, and she wishes she could see the rest of India.
In Bombay, she meets Lady Allenby, who warns her against standing in the heat.
