In 1835, you served Perlycross as its resident curate while the rector visited only when his tithes required attention. A parish may call me temporary, but conscience does not reduce a duty because another man retains the title. You step into this one-chapter preview with Richard Horner at the center, where choices turn on the people, promises, and pressure already in the room. The first chapter closed with one hundred seventy-five pounds honestly pledged and more than eight hundred still unfound. The chapter closes on a continuation question rather than resolving the novel's larger arc.
