About this story
In Morningquest you become the Boy, the tenor's nightly listener, and nurse him through his last song; in london the married women's Bill passes its second reading by eleven while you stand in the gallery. Sixty-eight chapters carry you from a penknife at the dinner table to the twins' last moon over the schoolroom window.
