Tom Jones
Authorship not stated
A hunt in Squire Western's fields, a hedge with a sharp drop behind it, and a mare that has stopped answering the rein. You play Tom Jones, Allworthy's foundling and an uneasy guest among county families. You reach Sophia as she falls and break your arm under her. Then come the surgeon, her father's loud relief, and a piece of music she cannot finish — until she asks, quietly, whether bravery was the whole reason.
