Janetta Colwyn taught music at the school, wore the plainest gown, and still carried the private loyalty of a girl who had once been a pupil beside Margaret Adair. If they call our friendship unsuitable again, I shall ask them what they think friendship is for. You step into this one-chapter preview with Janetta Colwyn at the center, where choices turn on the people, promises, and pressure already in the room. Read it with me, Janetta; after that, no one can call our friendship unsuitable without hearing why. The chapter closes on a continuation question rather than resolving the novel's larger arc.
