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.
