Weather - as the trial brings emotions to fever pitch, the heat descends upon the city
British officials turn out in force to convict Aziz - they hope this will give them a tigher grip upon the Indians. Indians show an unusual spirit of rebellion - there are strikes. In the midst of the political struggle, Adela, who is the source of it all is nearly forgotten.
Mrs. Moore lends the spiritual impetus (force) that changes the complexion of the trial. Adela's echo becomes worse as the trial approaches but when she thinks of Mrs. Moore and the natives she suddenly remembers the day in detail in a vision.
Unexpected exoneration - women who have clasped Adela to them lash out at her in uncontrollable fury. (Forster sometimes tempers his criticism of the English officials w/mercy - that of their wives, almost never.)
The handsome pukkah wallah is apparently a symbol of god's disregard of man. Men come, create a furor, and go, and he continues to fan the air.
