Chapter Summaries & Analyses
Helen and Florence land in Marrakesh. At their hotel, a man named Brahim asks them to fill out forms that the hotel must report to the police. Brahim tells Helen not to put her occupation as “writer” because the authorities will think that she is a journalist, so he suggests that she put down “manager.” Helen jokes that she should put down that she is a cog manager. Helen and Florence go to their rooms and Florence falls asleep instantly.
Florence wakes up the next day. Helen suggests that they visit a palace called El Badi. They walk to El Badi and wander around the passageways of the palace. Afterward, Helen gives Florence her driver’s license to pick up the rental car. Florence notices from the picture how similar they look with their blond hair.
At the rental agency, Florence gives them Helen’s driver’s license, and they do not question that Florence is not Helen. Florence drives the rental car back to the hotel to pick Helen up.
