In the Year of Jubilee

Arthur Peachey had slipped away without breakfast for his first holiday in three years when you came singing downstairs. Ada cannot manage two servants, one baby, or a breakfast, yet calls this house cheaper than independence. You step into this one-chapter preview with Beatrice French at the center, where choices turn on the people, promises, and pressure already in the room. The missed meeting and the mortgage proposal now demanded answers from the same Sunday you had expected to spend in the Strand. The chapter closes on a continuation question rather than resolving the novel's larger arc.
