The Good Venture returned from the Low Countries to Rotherhithe, where your Dutch mother waited for news of relatives living under persecution. Trade is slow because fear, executions, taxation, and resistance have disordered every port we visit. You step into this one-chapter preview with Captain William Martin at the center, where choices turn on the people, promises, and pressure already in the room. The crash carried the Good Venture toward consequences no speech aboard could settle. The chapter closes on a continuation question rather than resolving the novel's larger arc.
