I’m sorry I got here so late, but I couldn’t get here any earlier. I got a faxed message from Washington just as I was getting ready to leave, and I had to get off a reply at once. I tried to get a call through, but I got tired of waiting and finally got a fax on its way. Before I could get out of the office, I got a call from my sister. She had just gotten word that our father had gotten hurt in an automobile accident. When I finally got down to the garage, I found I had forgotten to get gas, so I had to get a taxi. It’s a wonder I got here at all.

chubhunter [2.5K]

"The domesticated generations fell from him" means that Buck is losing his civilized characteristics (B).

In this passage, Buck is feeling more and more estranged from where he and his ancestors ("generations") originally come from: as he gets a taste of wild life, he feels less and less like a pet ("domesticated") and more like a feral dog or a wolf. He is forgetting his stay-at-home ways ("fell from him") and sees new instincts grow in him, such as the drive to fight and hunt in a pack.
