The Adventures of Harry Richmond

Near two in the morning, the outer bell and blows on the hall door tore you from a dream of fire. There is no fire, sir; a gentleman waits below, though he has chosen an extraordinary hour. You step into this one-chapter preview with Augustus Richmond at the center, where choices turn on the people, promises, and pressure already in the room. The empty shawl from the child's bed lay on the stairs while Riversley discovered it had lost him in a single minute. The chapter closes on a continuation question rather than resolving the novel's larger arc.
