In the spring of 1467, London's holiday crowds filled the new pastime ground west of Charing with archery, dice, ale, and courtly spectators. Warwick may carry silks to arrange a French marriage, but a goldsmith must ask what Burgundy's anger will do to trade. You step into this one-chapter preview with Marmaduke Nevile at the center, where choices turn on the people, promises, and pressure already in the room. He closed one hand around the disputed silver arrow while the Bull still shone upon his hat. The chapter closes on a continuation question rather than resolving the novel's larger arc.
