Among the Brigands

The steamer landed Uncle Moses and four boys at Naples among porters, idlers, and reaching hands. Frank, three men have taken hold of one trunk, and none of them belongs to us. You step into this one-chapter preview with Bob at the center, where choices turn on the people, promises, and pressure already in the room. The goat raced down through the hotel and into the street, leaving its path to the sixth floor unexplained. The chapter closes on a continuation question rather than resolving the novel's larger arc.
