His Honour and a Lady
Authorship not stated
You play Judith Church in British India, watching your husband cross a sun-struck road with a face already announcing his news: John is to serve as acting Lieutenant-Governor of Bengal while Sir Griffiths Spence is on leave. A friend's private letter reached you first, praising the appointment in terms warmer than John allows himself. Between his caution and your own delight at palaces and state carriages, the morning uncovers an ambition neither of you expected to name.
