Gilbert Fenton spent his first Sunday at Lidford in the Lister pew, wondering whether quiet country life might surpass commerce. The sermon has ended, Gilbert, though thy attention appears fixed upon the opposite pew. You step into this one-chapter preview with Marian Nowell at the center, where choices turn on the people, promises, and pressure already in the room. Lidford had ceased to be empty, and the first question of your new life waited behind Marian Nowell's unspoken name. The chapter closes on a continuation question rather than resolving the novel's larger arc.
