A child's call brought you downstairs to a schoolroom filled with screams, sobs, and girls retreating from one corner. Harriet Smales is bleeding; someone fetch Dr Williams before questions delay help. You step into this one-chapter preview with Ida Starr at the center, where choices turn on the people, promises, and pressure already in the room. The postman's knock made the decision leave your hand before you could discover what education remained open to Ida Starr. The chapter closes on a continuation question rather than resolving the novel's larger arc.
