The Australasian is thirteen days out from Sydney, rolling toward the equator while Boupari's palms fade to leeward. A place with palms like those must be a paradise, Felix, even if the sea keeps it at a distance. You step into this one-chapter preview with Felix Thurstan at the center, where choices turn on the people, promises, and pressure already in the room. The Captain's order reaches them as a fragment, while the liner's lights begin to move again. The chapter closes on a continuation question rather than resolving the novel's larger arc.
