Her Season in Bath

Griselda Mainwaring lived as an unpaid companion in Lady Betty's household, where a ball card could matter more than a young woman's wishes. I would rather play the violin than have my face painted for a gentleman who counts every curl. You step into this one-chapter preview with Griselda Mainwaring at the center, where choices turn on the people, promises, and pressure already in the room. Read it with me after the first measure; then we will decide whether the song is an invitation. The chapter closes on a continuation question rather than resolving the novel's larger arc.
