The opening offers a vivid portrayal of characters aboard the steamer Elephanta, introducing readers to the complex social dynamics of military and civilian life in colonial India. The opening of the book sets the stage aboard the Elephanta, where an eclectic mix of passengers—including Captain Trevanion, Lady Jervois, and various civilian women—gather in the saloon, engaging in conversation, music, and light-hearted banter.
