Diana Trelawny

At Brighton, old Sir John and Lady Trelawny watched a school procession pass daily beneath windows made dull by his final illness. The English governess carries herself unlike the rest, John; even from here she looks as though dependence has not subdued her. You step into this one-chapter preview with Lady Trelawny at the center, where choices turn on the people, promises, and pressure already in the room. The challenge followed you back toward the school before you chose any reply. The chapter closes on a continuation question rather than resolving the novel's larger arc.
