You and your father left the olive shade for an exposed road leading uphill toward the old walled town of Bordighera. We have fifteen minutes of full sun, Papa; take my arm and let the tourists pass before the steep steps. You step into this one-chapter preview with Mr Waring at the center, where choices turn on the people, promises, and pressure already in the room. His refusal kept the mystery intact without hinting at an answer the opening does not supply. The chapter closes on a continuation question rather than resolving the novel's larger arc.
