Rosa Lusignan abandoned her embroidery three times to watch the road below Kent Villa. Christopher is late on the one afternoon he means to ask Papa for my hand. You step into this one-chapter preview with Christopher Staines at the center, where choices turn on the people, promises, and pressure already in the room. Christopher left Kent Villa to create an income before time, distance, or another suitor changed the terms. The chapter closes on a continuation question rather than resolving the novel's larger arc.
