Lucy Gifford longed to leave the hilltop, while her widowed sister Mary guarded the old home and feared every glittering promise below. There is time before sunset, and I mean to carry the cake to the village and hear whether Mr Sidney has reached Penshurst. You step into this one-chapter preview with Lucy Gifford at the center, where choices turn on the people, promises, and pressure already in the room. Let the door open tomorrow; tonight I will learn which sister the stranger came to meet. The chapter closes on a continuation question rather than resolving the novel's larger arc.
