The Remarkable History of Sir Thomas Upmore

Your father boiled soap in Maiden Lane and weighed more than eighteen stone, while your mother was nearly as substantial and twice as certain. Tommy is my only child and therefore meant for greatness; ordinary measurements cannot settle what Providence intends. You step into this one-chapter preview with Bubbly Upmore at the center, where choices turn on the people, promises, and pressure already in the room. Her certainty pointed toward fame you had never requested. The chapter closes on a continuation question rather than resolving the novel's larger arc.
