Tughluq shows a self-opinionated attitude towards the cabinet ministers and lends a deaf ear to all their proposals. He instead makes illogical plans to tackle the country's problems that neither make sense nor solve the problems in question. He makes foreign languages as India's National Language, makes mere promises to calm riots, legalises bribery and corruption and uses similar solutions to fix problems. Thugluq and Battuta have a small talk in solitude.

This view was not shared, however, by the New Zealand Socialist Party, which, when the strike broke out, had actually asked Holland not to come to Waihi. The New Zealand socialists, for the most part, saw socialism as a means to an end, and distrusted Holland's view that socialism was a goal in and of itself.

Collings paid homage to King George V during his and Queen Mary's visit to Guernsey in 1921, becoming the first seigneur of Sark to do so in person since Sir Philip Carteret rendered homage to King Charles II on Jersey in 1650. In his old age, the Seigneur became lenient and stopped requesting the inhabitants to pay him disme. His widowed daughter succeeded him when he died on 20 June 1927, and quickly restored the seigneurial rights. She described her father as "extremely insubordinate, madly obstinate, fiercely self-opinionated and prone to outbreaks of uncontrolled rage," but noted that he was a "generous man" and "never hard on those who found difficulty in paying their rents or dues".
