At twenty, Antonia Thornton copied her father's hurried prose and carried manuscripts between Rupert Buildings and the booksellers. Ink and accuracy are inheritance enough when fortune has been spent before a daughter can claim it. You step into this one-chapter preview with Patty Lester at the center, where choices turn on the people, promises, and pressure already in the room. For the first time, the sheltered infidel went to test her father's philosophy inside the world it claimed to understand. The chapter closes on a continuation question rather than resolving the novel's larger arc.
