Neville becomes ill after eating salmon in Toronto

While a strict vegetarian, Neville stayed ten days in Toronto with the mother of a New York friend who worked for the New York Times; she could ill afford the lovely salmon she served, so he ate it rather than offend her, and was violently sick that night while the other guests were fine — self-poisoned by breaking his own pledge, exactly as Abdullah had warned about quibbles.

    Reasoning Neville states he kept a seven-year abstinence before this Toronto lapse; the corpus's frame already documents his seven-year discipline ending on/after the Barbados return (events 18769, 19863, 1929-1934 window), making this the most plausible occasion though not certainly the same night.
