On your first night as Louisa Auberly's maid, Hopkins led you into the severe quiet of her father's study. Miss Tippet gives thee a sound character, Martha, qualified only by carelessness in certain things. You step into this one-chapter preview with Mrs Rose at the center, where choices turn on the people, promises, and pressure already in the room. Unknown to both women, a forgotten spark smouldered in cloth between the forbidden papers. The chapter closes on a continuation question rather than resolving the novel's larger arc.
