Between showers, you walked the terrace with Constantia Durham while guests followed in loose groups before dinner. Your family avenue makes even an unexpected caller appear arranged for our inspection. You step into this one-chapter preview with Constantia Durham at the center, where choices turn on the people, promises, and pressure already in the room. Laetitia heard resolve; beneath it stood the urgent need to prove that Constantia had escaped no power over you. The chapter closes on a continuation question rather than resolving the novel's larger arc.
