In this chapter, the father and son discuss the arrangements for the day. The father tells his son that he will report on the day's activities to his brother-in-law, and the son tells his father that he should keep the arrangements as private as possible. He also tells the father that the son is too handsome to be his personal bodyguard, and that the father should have a female driver instead of a male one. He tells the son that his first impression upon meeting his son is that he is "lowering himself to the extent of a retired soldier" and that he brings shame to the family.
