Annals of a Quiet Neighbourhood

You reached your first country parish certain of your duties and unexpectedly doubtful of your usefulness. The thought that a sermon could fill an hour while leaving private sorrow untouched followed you into the rain. You step into this one-chapter preview with Ethelwyn Oldcastle at the center, where choices turn on the people, promises, and pressure already in the room. Judy's teasing glance showed that one household grievance explained more than the word atheist had done. The chapter closes on a continuation question rather than resolving the novel's larger arc.
