Fred Markham in Russia

Fred and Harry Markham burst through the family doorway with the same news and scarcely enough breath to tell it. Cousin Giles means to take us to Russia, and he says the journey can begin almost at once. You step into this one-chapter preview with Fred Markham at the center, where choices turn on the people, promises, and pressure already in the room. The Ladoga went on at restrained power, while Hull, the shore, and every promised sight remained beyond the white wall. The chapter closes on a continuation question rather than resolving the novel's larger arc.
