The station had learned that Evelyn Ferrars meant to marry James Rowland, the engineer, before Evelyn herself had decided what the announcement meant. A lady of Miss Ferrars's family marrying an engineer! You step into this one-chapter preview with Evelyn Ferrars at the center, where choices turn on the people, promises, and pressure already in the room. The station lamps came on behind them, and the gossip lost its claim to decide the shape of Evelyn's life. The chapter closes on a continuation question rather than resolving the novel's larger arc.
