"Because India is part of the earth. And God has put us on the earth in order to be pleasant to each other. GodÃÂ isÃÂ love."Mrs. Moore is a twice-widowed matron. She is Ronny's mother, who accompanies Adela to India so that she can decide whether to marry Ronny or not.

She questions the standard behaviors of the English towards the Indians and tries to connect with the Indians at the Bridge Party and at Fielding's afternoon tea.

Mrs. Moore notes that Ronny has changed and that he was never rude or arrogant in England. Her language, especially when God is...
