Sempre me intrigou o romance da história dos índios britânicos. No verão de 1953, com este interesse, encontrei-me no Fort Museum em Fort. St. George. George, em Madras. Havia muitos objectos em exposição, incluindo palanquins, uniformes, fotografias e cartas escritas por Robert Clive quando esteve em Madras e no Fort. St. David. David. Um registo escrito à mão em particular, chamado: Registo n.º 1 era o Registo de Casamentos da Igreja de Santa Maria no Forte. Mary, no Forte. Havia duas entradas - uma de Elihu Yale com Catherine Hynmers e, um pouco mais tarde, Robert Clive e Margaret Maskelyne, registada em 18 de fevereiro de 1753. Com apenas este registo na mão, iniciei uma busca para descobrir quem era Margaret, o seu passado familiar, como chegou a Madras, como conheceu Robert Clive e como a sua vida se tornou inextricavelmente entrelaçada com a dele durante os 21 anos seguintes. Ela representava a vida na sociedade de classe média de meados do século XVIII, aspirando a tornar-se a classe alta, tanto em Inglaterra como na nascente comunidade britânica indiana transplantada.
