Cormorant Crag

Your father called you to the surgery door with a large bottle in one hand and a smaller one waiting to be filled. If the patient can wait, perhaps my trousers and boots deserve a hearing before they are sentenced. You step into this one-chapter preview with Mrs Burnet at the center, where choices turn on the people, promises, and pressure already in the room. You reached the turn above the cottages with home, school, and the day's encounter still unresolved. The chapter closes on a continuation question rather than resolving the novel's larger arc.
