The Surgeon's Daughter

After another long wet circuit among distant patients, Gideon Gray had barely hung his coat beside the fire when three old women raced up Middlemas street. Peg, Alison, and Luckie Simson have forgotten their years at once; some trouble must be outrunning all three. You step into this one-chapter preview with Jean Gray at the center, where choices turn on the people, promises, and pressure already in the room. Upstairs, Richard slept beneath the false town name while the two travellers who had brought him vanished into separate dangers. The chapter closes on a continuation question rather than resolving the novel's larger arc.
