You are Sampson, the only clerk who can identify Henry Dunbar after his thirty-five years in India, and the brother of Joseph Wilmot, the man Henry led into forgery and let take the blame alone. Clement Austin arranges word at every stage as you travel to Southampton on a commission limited to identification, nothing more. On the train, Joseph reappears across the carriage under another name, and when a seizure leaves you helpless at a wayside inn, he takes your letter and continues toward the ship without you.
