Betty Vivian

For generations, Haddo Court admitted no pupil before its head mistress personally judged girl and guardian. Comfort may be offered freely, Sir John, but one hundred and fifty places require deliberate trust. You step into this one-chapter preview with Mrs Haddo at the center, where choices turn on the people, promises, and pressure already in the room. The unanswered question made the coming meeting more important than every recommendation. The chapter closes on a continuation question rather than resolving the novel's larger arc.
