Nineteen-year-old Mary Crofton reached Albury Lodge in cold January rain to begin as an articled governess-pupil. Miss Bagshot and Miss Susan are out to tea; thou was expected hours ago. You step into this one-chapter preview with Milly Darrell at the center, where choices turn on the people, promises, and pressure already in the room. Milly's promised room waited beyond duties whose full weight neither young woman yet knew. The chapter closes on a continuation question rather than resolving the novel's larger arc.
