Rain and sleet scour Fifth Avenue while Carl Walraven sits in a ruby-and-gold chamber, smoking before his mother's long-awaited ball. The twenty-fifth of November has a talent for bringing Paris back with the weather. You step into this one-chapter preview with Carl Walraven at the center, where choices turn on the people, promises, and pressure already in the room. The storm presses against the vestibule glass while the ball continues in its glittering ignorance. The chapter closes on a continuation question rather than resolving the novel's larger arc.
