How It All Goes Down
- The Major is raking leaves on a Saturday morning when there's a huge kerfuffle inside the house.
- It's Roger, who showed up unannounced (must run in the family).
- Roger didn't know that Abdul Wahid was there, and being crazy and a little bit racist, Roger starts a huge fight with him.
- The Major smooths things over with Abdul Wahid and insists he stay and join them on the picnic Roger and Sandy brought.
- The group has a nice mostly civilized discussion, mainly because Roger doesn't open his yap, and then Abdul Wahid has to go to work.
- After lunch, Roger reveals that he's going shooting with Lord Dagenham next week, and he asks to borrow the Churchills.
- The Major shoots that down fast, pun intended.
- The Major admits that he'll be there himself, and he'll have the guns on him.
- Before Roger leaves, he has to bring up Abdul Wahid one more time, saying "he could be a terrorist" (13.211). Right, Roger.
- The Major is more sad than angry, pretty much giving up on Roger altogether: "It seemed very sad to be indifferent to one's own son" (13.214).
