In summer 1782, you had recently lost your wife, your sailor son, and his young widow within the span of two market days. Grief has left one sound in this cottage, and she is five years old with an appetite stronger than my pension. You step into this one-chapter preview with Little Bunny at the center, where choices turn on the people, promises, and pressure already in the room. The pool rose around a rescue secured only for the present moment. The chapter closes on a continuation question rather than resolving the novel's larger arc.
