Whoever can identify the most species of birds in one week’s time gets the privilege of asking Ms. Rather than force Rose to choose between the two men, a clever solution is proposed. Khan has also become enraptured with Rose and announces his intent to invite her to the Ball. Just as Malik is getting up the nerve to invite Rose to the Nairobi Hunt Club Ball (the premier social occasion of the Kenyan calendar), Harry Khan, a nemesis from his school days, arrives in town. Malik has been secretly in love with Rose Mbikwa, a woman who leads the weekly bird walks sponsored by the East African Ornithological Society.
