...Refugees. The 2.3 million Palestinians living in the diaspora would have the right, in principle, to join their 1.1 million brother Arabs who live in the West Bank and Gaza.

Unfortunately, this is impossible, as the next train through to Cambridge isn't scheduled to leave until the next morning. The sooner the better for him; he does not want us "hanging on and hanging on." He orders us out of the house, then goes to bed. We take him seriously and make plans to depart.
