Mr Damerel sat beneath the lime-trees with a book and a rose in a Venice glass. Martha, Martha, do not trouble the child. You step into this one-chapter preview with Rose Damerel at the center, where choices turn on the people, promises, and pressure already in the room. Rose returned to the garden at dusk, carrying a copybook under one arm and a rose in the other. The chapter closes on a continuation question rather than resolving the novel's larger arc.
