Phantom Fortune

Before dinner, Lord Denyer's guests whispered that the Indian mail accused Lord Maulevrier of grave misconduct as governor. Will his wife appear tonight after learning the storm has finally taken shape? You step into this one-chapter preview with Lord Denyer at the center, where choices turn on the people, promises, and pressure already in the room. The Penelope of Grosvenor Square went home to prepare for a Ulysses whose voyage carried public ruin in its wake. The chapter closes on a continuation question rather than resolving the novel's larger arc.
