Half an hour after the quiet ceremony, Christian Oakley stood in the Fergusons' room trying to understand the new name Mrs Grey. James and I prepared the notice for The Times, but Dr Grey says its wording must be exactly what his wife wishes. You step into this one-chapter preview with Arnold Grey at the center, where choices turn on the people, promises, and pressure already in the room. The carriage entered dusk with a husband offering patience and a wife carrying a past the next chapter had not yet named. The chapter closes on a continuation question rather than resolving the novel's larger arc.
