Chapter XXIV · Chapter 24

Chapter 28 of Adam Bede is here in full — 364 sentences across 73 reading sections, with audio for every sentence and word.

Chapter 28 of Adam Bede by George Eliot holds 364 sentences, grouped into 73 reading sections of at most 5 sentences. The text is the public-domain source, unabridged, and the chapter records which sentences cover which part of the work so that nothing is dropped. Every word can be tapped for its pronunciation and dictionary entry.

What does chapter 28 of Adam Bede contain?

Chapter 28 holds 364 sentences of Adam Bede, unabridged, divided into 73 reading sections.

This page carries chapter 28 of Adam Bede by George Eliot exactly as it stands in the public-domain source edition, without abridgement. It runs to 364 sentences, grouped into 73 sections of at most 5 sentences so that a reader can take the chapter in steady, finishable pieces. The chapter also stores a coverage record mapping every one of its sentences to a part of the work, which is how the edition demonstrates that no line was dropped.

How do I study chapter 28 of Adam Bede?

Work through the 73 sections in order, replaying any sentence and tapping unfamiliar words for their entries.

Each of the 73 sections in this chapter is short enough to read once, hear once, and then re-read with the vocabulary in view. Tapping a word plays it alone and opens its dictionary entry with IPA, part of speech and meaning, so the reader is never forced to guess a pronunciation from spelling. Working section by section keeps a long chapter from becoming an undifferentiated wall of text, which is the usual reason a reader abandons a work of this period.

Can chapter 28 be read aloud to me?

Yes — every sentence and every individual word in chapter 28 can be played aloud in United States English.

Audio covers the whole chapter: any sentence can be played, and any single word within it can be played on its own. The voice uses United States English. For a work of this period that matters, because spelling is an unreliable guide to pronunciation for vocabulary that has fallen out of daily use, and a learner who guesses wrong tends to keep the error. Hearing the word in its own sentence, and then alone, settles it.

What was it then to Hetty?
With her poor narrow thoughts, no longer melting into vague hopes, but pressed upon by the chill of definite fear, repeating again and again the same small round of memoriesshaping again and again the same childish, doubtful images of what was to comeseeing nothing in this wide world but the little history of her own pleasures and pains; with so little money in her pocket, and the way so long and difficult.
Unless she could afford always to go in the coachesand she felt sure she could not, for the journey to Stoniton was more expensive than she had expectedit was plain that she must trust to carriers carts or slow waggons; and what a time it would be before she could get to the end of her journey!
