| Summary |
"Her Lord and Master" by Martha Morton is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around Mr. Horatio Stillwater, a wealthy and distinguished man from Indiana, who is eager to reunite with his family after their winter vacation. The dynamic between Mr. Stillwater, his spirited daughter Indiana, and the other prominent women in his life sets the tone for themes of family, ambition, and the clash between traditional roles and modern expectations. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to Mr. Stillwater as he checks into a New York hotel, just after his family's arrival in the city. The interaction between him and an English gentleman, Lord Canning, hints at their differing backgrounds and the underlying comic tension as Stillwater proudly shares his accomplishments. As the family members reconnect, the narrative explores their relationships, especially between father and daughter, highlighting Indiana's assertiveness and Mr. Stillwater's affection. With hints of a sailing trip suggested by the doctor for Stillwater's health, the stage is set for further developments that will explore their family dynamics and adventures.
