Malcolm Herrick saw beauty in gray courts and battered people, though his legal work had never satisfied the artist he imagined inside himself. The child by the pigeons is ill, and her father has no umbrella; a gentleman can spare one afternoon's inconvenience. You step into this one-chapter preview with Malcolm Herrick at the center, where choices turn on the people, promises, and pressure already in the room. I will hear the paper after I know the child is safe; that is the first law I can keep. The chapter closes on a continuation question rather than resolving the novel's larger arc.
