The mail steamer `Zanzibar` moved beside the African coast on a sea so calm that its smoke lay flat behind it. Everyone at dinner looked suddenly changed, as though another life stood one step beyond tonight. You step into this one-chapter preview with Benita Clifford at the center, where choices turn on the people, promises, and pressure already in the room. Benita remembered the answer she had not finished and demanded that the captain search again. The chapter closes on a continuation question rather than resolving the novel's larger arc.
