From a shepherd's remote Cumberland cottage, you watched the noon path for your father, an expelled Puritan minister living in danger. He warned me yesterday that he would come, and such notice from a man without a secure home must carry grave purpose. You step into this one-chapter preview with Caleb Field at the center, where choices turn on the people, promises, and pressure already in the room. The cottage held its breath around a journey not yet taken. The chapter closes on a continuation question rather than resolving the novel's larger arc.
