The Lizard moor runs gray to a wedge of black water, and Penmorgan House sits in a hollow that hides the wider view. You speak of the place as if the ground had personally offended you, Walter. You step into this one-chapter preview with Eustace Le Neve at the center, where choices turn on the people, promises, and pressure already in the room. Take your own time; haste is the only danger you can choose. The chapter closes on a continuation question rather than resolving the novel's larger arc.
