By England's Aid

More than a year after Francis Vere left Hedingham to serve in the Netherlands, you and Lionel still intended to follow when old enough. Father teaches Latin, but castle arms, river craft, and Vere's promise make the wider world harder to postpone. You step into this one-chapter preview with Lionel Vickars at the center, where choices turn on the people, promises, and pressure already in the room. London waited inside his answer to the request Lirriper was about to make. The chapter closes on a continuation question rather than resolving the novel's larger arc.
