The Nawab’s last years

Obviously, the Nawab seems to have used Olivia all the time, as a symbol of revenge.
About his last years we know that Harry left him and returned to England. As they meet again the Nawab seems to have changed completely. He is not living in the Palace anymore, because his money problems in the end overwhelmed him. Therefore, he never brought Olivia with him, because he couldn’t afford it. He bought her a house far away in the mountains and lived there with her sometimes. He never speaks about her openly, she has become as secret as his mother.
Furthermore, he returned to spent more time with his wife Sandy and her family.

In addition, his outer appearance has changed very much. As he visits Harry he has become an old man of 50 years and enormously fat, looking almost like a woman. Also his problems have converted to little domestic ones, so that he seemed softer and milder. Surely he is still the ruler of the state, but as he hasn’t the right to decide about things going on in Kathm anymore, he is no longer interested in it. But still he has great financial problems ans feels ashamed about not being able to keep his inheritance in the same state as he got it.

One time he visited Marcia in London and she too said that he is a more interesting person than Douglas, but not her type.

Finally he dies in the arms of his old mother, the Begum, in New York, Park Avenue, some 15 years later.
