After years managing the family works, you announced a three-month holiday to chase the summer sun northward. Bob Bowie, report at six tomorrow with what underclothes thou owns; we leave by rail for Hull and sail to Norway. You step into this one-chapter preview with Bob Bowie at the center, where choices turn on the people, promises, and pressure already in the room. McNab has begun the turn, and that wave will enter the passage with us. The chapter closes on a continuation question rather than resolving the novel's larger arc.
