Quote #4
"I was not forget you Memsahib. Honoured Memsahib." (1.4.63)
The quote from Kamante's letter is a little cryptic, but it gives us more insight into the importance of memory for the Baroness. She (Memsahib) is honored that her old servant does not forget her. It is really super important for her that she has some connection still with Africa, even though it's all in the past now.
Quote #5
Berkeley, if he had had his small head enriched with a wig of long silky curls, could have walked in and out of the Court of King Charles II. (3.7.4)
Berkeley Cole, the Baroness' good friend, is described as being from another time period. To be exact, the Court of King Charles II, who ruled from 1660 to 1685. The Baroness thinks that Berkeley hung the moon, so this relationship with the past must be a compliment coming from her. That might indicate that she's just a tad nostalgic.
Quote #6
While we were lunching, a party of Masai warriors appeared on the horizon, and approached quickly. [...] They stuck their heads together and began to talk to one another about the aeroplane and us. A generation ago they would have been fatal to us to meet. (3.8.51)
The group of Masai warriors is, in a way, stuck in the past, especially when they are contrasted to the airplane. Sorry, but spears just doesn't cut it against modern machinery. But the narrator knows her history, and knows that if they were in the past, the Masai would have wiped the floor with her. What a difference a few years makes.
