The Fortunes of Nigel

King James wore both crowns, but in London the old division between English and Scots survived in court complaint, street joke, and sudden brawl. The king may value a Dalkeith watchmaker, lads, yet my Fleet Street shop must still earn its hours one customer at a time. You step into this one-chapter preview with Francis Tunstall at the center, where choices turn on the people, promises, and pressure already in the room. The unknown Scotsman had vanished into the affray before you could learn whether he was victim, cause, or neither. The chapter closes on a continuation question rather than resolving the novel's larger arc.
