Generated by AI · Cover art generated by AI
Janet Summerhayes was sorting linen at the Clover vicarage, but she did not look like the resigned governess of a cautionary tale. The linen is sound, and you have enough of it to meet any respectable household. You step into this one-chapter preview with Janet Summerhayes at the center, where choices turn on the people, promises, and pressure already in the room. The packed linen waited by the door; the unknown household waited beyond the morning road. The chapter closes on a continuation question rather than resolving the novel's larger arc.
