"Sous les déodars" by Rudyard Kipling is a collection of short stories written in the early 20th century. The tales unfold in the hills of Simla, India, exploring themes of colonial life, gender dynamics, and interpersonal relationships through a vivid cast of characters, primarily Anglo-Indian expatriates. The stories often feature strong female presences, such as Mistress Hauksbee, reflecting on the complexities and eccentricities of their society. The opening of "Sous les déodars" introduces readers to the setting of Simla and the life experiences of its characters, particularly focusing on Mistress Hauksbee and her interactions with her friend, Mistress Mallowe. Their conversation reveals a blend of humor and introspection as they discuss their ambitions and frustrations with the social dynamics around them. Mistress Hauksbee expresses a desire to elevate her status and influence while plotting to help the enigmatic Otis Yeere, a civil servant she views as a potential subject for transformation. The tone is lively, with witty banter that sets the stage for the intricate narratives to follow, filled with insight into the lives of the colonial inhabitants in the Himalayas.
