On a gusty November evening, the red light beyond Ramsgate shone over the Goodwin Sands and the North Sea. Weather first, waiter; will this wind strengthen enough to keep a hired boat in harbour tomorrow? You step into this one-chapter preview with John Welton at the center, where choices turn on the people, promises, and pressure already in the room. John Welton reached for the table as the boatman called the first warning from below. The chapter closes on a continuation question rather than resolving the novel's larger arc.
