Percival Ford grapples with his discomfort at a social gathering of army officers and their wives as they prepare to leave Honolulu for Alaska. Despite being well-acquainted with the military community, he feels a disconnect due to his preference for the more serious and unassuming women involved in community activities. The contrast between his familiarity with these officers and his unease around their wives highlights his struggle to navigate social expectations and personal inclinations in a world that feels foreign to him.
