"He's my son all the same," she said smiling, (19). .
It does not occur to Aziz that Mrs. Moore's son may be part of the Indian race. It is something that is not understandable at first. .
Another British character that Aziz makes a connection with is Mr. Fielding. When Aziz arrives at Fielding's home to meet him for the first time, he has the same type of miscommunication that he does with Mrs. Moore, yet is is displayed in an opposite manner: "Lifting up his voice, he shouted from the bedroom, "Please make yourself at home."

"When?" she replied, inclining charmingly. .
"Whenever is convenient." .
"All days are convenient." .
"Thursday- .
"Most certainly." .
"What about the time?" .
"All hours." .
"Tell us which you would prefer." .
Mrs. Bhattacharya seemed not to know either. Her gesture implied that she had known, since Thursdays began, that English ladies would come to see her on one of them, and so always stayed in. Everything pleased her, nothing surprised. She added, "We leave for Calcutta today.
