Summary "The Hosts of the Lord" by Flora Annie Steel is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story takes place in the colonial setting of British India, exploring the interactions between English officers and the local culture in the fictional town of Eshwara. The narrative likely revolves around key characters such as Captain Vincent Dering, Lieutenant Lance Carlyon, and Dr. George Dillon, alongside local figures, including the enigmatic Father Ninian Bruce and the young woman Laila Bonaventura." "The opening of "The Hosts of the Lord" introduces readers to the dynamic relationships between the Englishmen as they navigate the social and cultural complexities of their environment. Captain Dering and his companions engage in banter that highlights their differing attitudes towards the local population and their roles within the colonial framework. As they journey through Eshwara, the characters react to their surroundings, discussing upcoming events like the opening of a canal, which stirs excitement and curiosity about the lives of the local populace. Symbolically rich in both its setting and characterizations, the beginning sets the stage for a tale that contrasts cultural ignorance and the quest for understanding amid colonial tensions and personal ambitions."
