| Summary | "His Honour, and a Lady" by Sara Jeannette Duncan is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story is centered around John Church, an English Commissioner in India, and his wife Judith, shedding light on their lives and the complexities of colonial society. The novel explores themes of ambition, social roles, and the expectations placed upon them in the Indian context. At the start of the book, we are introduced to John Church as he walks purposefully down a road in Hassimabad, India, indicating that something significant is afoot. His wife, Judith, is a vibrant character who has ambitions beyond the traditional role of a woman in their society; she looks forward to the social opportunities that John's new appointment as Acting Lieutenant-Governor will provide. The opening chapters set up the tension between John's serious approach to his duties and Judith's desire for personal fulfillment and excitement in the vibrant world of Calcutta's social scene. As they navigate their relationship and the expectations of their roles, an undercurrent of both admiration and concern for each other's aspirations begins to emerge.
