On the first full day of midsummer holiday, you crossed the North Devon cliff with Bob Chowne and Bigley Uggleston. This is 1755, and five separate facts prove it, including the French war and our extra holiday. You step into this one-chapter preview with Bigley Uggleston at the center, where choices turn on the people, promises, and pressure already in the room. The boys started toward Bogle's Beacon with the first climb still ahead. The chapter closes on a continuation question rather than resolving the novel's larger arc.
