Beechcroft at Rockstone

A telegram arrived while Jane Mohun was with her younger sister Adeline, whose dread of telegraph envelopes made her ask Jane to open it. Lily writes only three facts: Jasper, an accident, and come; the missing surname makes haste more useful than speculation. You step into this one-chapter preview with Lady Merrifield at the center, where choices turn on the people, promises, and pressure already in the room. Beyond Silverfold, the routes to Colombo, Beechcroft, college, and Rockstone waited to pull the family apart by morning. The chapter closes on a continuation question rather than resolving the novel's larger arc.
