The Whirlpool

You dined in your usual quiet corner while Cecil Morphew explained how five pounds won in speculation proved a reliable method. Tripcony profits when I profit, so caution and his interest must point in the same direction. You step into this one-chapter preview with Cecil Morphew at the center, where choices turn on the people, promises, and pressure already in the room. Hamilton Terrace waited ahead, where Hugh's account might clarify one loss while deepening the doubt around Frothingham. The chapter closes on a continuation question rather than resolving the novel's larger arc.
