Summary "Sir George Tressady — Volume II" by Mrs. Humphry Ward is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around George Tressady, a member of Parliament, as he navigates the complexities of family relationships, social expectations, and the political landscape of his time. The characters face personal dilemmas that reflect broader societal issues, particularly focusing on George's interactions with his mother, Lady Tressady, and his wife, Letty, amidst ongoing political debates and social movements. The opening portion of the book introduces readers to George Tressady as he visits his mother in Warwick Square. Despite her avoidance of discussing serious matters, it becomes apparent that she is experiencing some health issues. As they converse, the tension between George and Letty is highlighted, showcasing the strains in George's marriage and Lady Tressady's desire for attention and validation. The dialogue reveals Lady Tressady's theatrical personality and penchant for drama, while George grapples with his feelings towards both his mother's health and his wife's frivolities amid the backdrop of political unrest surrounding the Maxwell Bill. This section effectively sets the stage for the exploration of personal and political conflicts. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
