Burr Junior

On your first morning at Meade Place, Mercer nudged you toward the lower desk where Dicksee struggled through a reading. Listen closely, Frank; he feels ill, and the medicine I gave him has not improved his temper or pronunciation. You step into this one-chapter preview with Mercer at the center, where choices turn on the people, promises, and pressure already in the room. You faced your first unscheduled day at Meade Place with friendship, rivalry, and consequence still unsettled. The chapter closes on a continuation question rather than resolving the novel's larger arc.
