November sunlight filled your Posillipo room while you wrote instructions to the household left at Redbeck. Six months away has made Bartles feel unreal, yet neglect there still arrives as a duty addressed to me. You step into this one-chapter preview with Ross Mallard at the center, where choices turn on the people, promises, and pressure already in the room. Morning would bring Cecily into a room where duty, beauty, money, and emancipation already meant different things to every expected guest. The chapter closes on a continuation question rather than resolving the novel's larger arc.
