Dawn

Philip Caresfoot cornered his cousin George beside the yard wall after learning who had reported ten missing pounds. You urged me to gamble the money, claimed half the winnings, then told Father only what I lost. You step into this one-chapter preview with Philip Caresfoot at the center, where choices turn on the people, promises, and pressure already in the room. His bruised face formed a smile Philip understood as a promise rather than forgiveness. The chapter closes on a continuation question rather than resolving the novel's larger arc.
