Chapter Title: Rivals on the Road

Lead In

The chapter title "Rivals on the Road" was appropriate because Kit, the boy who approached Peter with a dagger, competes with Peter for control throughout the whole chapter.

Peter expresses his want to tell Kit to leave but Kit proves himself to Mr. Deasmond by acting better than Peter.

Also, at the very end of the chapter, after both Peter and Kit have written letters, Peter snatches kit's letter and reads the adress of Sir Phillip Morton, who is out to kill Peter.

Cue For Treason:

The lead in to the next chapter is very suspenceful and gives just enough information to keep attention. It doesn't give anything away but gives you a good idea of what will occur when combined with chapter seven's title.
