A Girl of High Adventure

Orphaned Margot St Juste lived between a beloved uncle by marriage and an aunt whose kindness arrived as constant prohibition. Uncle Jack teaches Latin I do not love because the hour afterward belongs to stories of my own families. You step into this one-chapter preview with Reverend John Mansfield at the center, where choices turn on the people, promises, and pressure already in the room. The secret journey survived its first interruption without becoming any safer. The chapter closes on a continuation question rather than resolving the novel's larger arc.
