The Kellys and the O'Kellys

Dublin crowded around the State Trials while you and your brother waited for places among men arguing over O'Connell. Half the city expects conviction, the other half deliverance, and neither will hear a quiet fact today. You step into this one-chapter preview with John Kelly at the center, where choices turn on the people, promises, and pressure already in the room. The room opened before you had decided whether to present your design as a marriage, an elopement, or a bargain for Anty's fortune. The chapter closes on a continuation question rather than resolving the novel's larger arc.
