Paddy Finn

Terence Finn stood before Ballinahone Castle where the Shannon ran past old walls, a drawbridge, and a hall crowded with inherited weapons. Terence, take Larry up with the warm water, and ask Biddy for coffee before the post arrives. You step into this one-chapter preview with Terence Finn at the center, where choices turn on the people, promises, and pressure already in the room. The road to Cork opened beyond the drawbridge, and Captain Macnamara's damaged frigate waited somewhere beyond the next tide. The chapter closes on a continuation question rather than resolving the novel's larger arc.
