| Summary | "Lady Merton, Colonist" by Mrs. Humphry Ward is a novel written in the early 20th century. The narrative follows Lady Merton, a recently widowed woman who embarks on a journey through Canada with her brother Philip. The story captures her fascination with the vast and uncharted landscapes while highlighting her romantic expectations of a new life. The opening portion of the book sets the stage for Lady Merton's exploration of Canada as she travels by train with her brother. Their conversation reveals differing attitudes towards the scenic beauty surrounding them, with Lady Merton expressing enthusiasm for the lakes and forests, while Philip exhibits a more cynical perspective. Lady Merton's character comes into focus as someone deeply affected by her surroundings and the grandeur of the potential future these landscapes represent. The dynamic between the siblings hints at familial affection and contrasting mindsets, setting up an engaging exploration of the themes of colonization, personal aspiration, and the stark beauty of the Canadian wilderness. The chapter concludes with the complex emotions that surface in the wake of their journey, blending her joy and yearning for deeper connections within this startling new world.
