An African Millionaire: Episodes in the Life of the Illustrious Colonel Clay

I am Seymour Wentworth, secretary and brother-in-law to Sir Charles Vandrift, and the Hotel des Anglais is full of talk. The Mexican Seer has named runaway husbands, winning roulette numbers, and a face hidden in a screen. You step into this one-chapter preview with Seymour Wentworth at the center, where choices turn on the people, promises, and pressure already in the room. We have tested prediction; the next display will test whether a signature can be made to travel. The chapter closes on a continuation question rather than resolving the novel's larger arc.
