On a wet December evening, Jane Tait waited in the rectory while her father distributed weekly charity bread. Her mother lay upstairs with a sick headache, and two younger siblings had gone to a school celebration. You step into this one-chapter preview with Edgar Halliburton at the center, where choices turn on the people, promises, and pressure already in the room. By tomorrow our plain table will hold one more history, and none of us yet knows how deeply it will join ours. The chapter closes on a continuation question rather than resolving the novel's larger arc.
