The Nether World

You ran into the public house with Mrs Peckover's jug while sleet gathered over Clerkenwell Green. A strange old traveller asked for Snowdon less than four minutes ago, then walked out toward the prison wall. You step into this one-chapter preview with Sidney Kirkwood at the center, where choices turn on the people, promises, and pressure already in the room. The wet street shortened ahead while Mrs Hewett's unknown need and the Snowdon traveller pulled your next words in different directions. The chapter closes on a continuation question rather than resolving the novel's larger arc.
