Chapter 9 of Bones and I by G. J. (George John) Whyte-Melville holds 112 sentences, grouped into 23 reading sections of at most 5 sentences. The text is the source edition, unabridged, and the chapter records which sentences cover which part of the work so that nothing is dropped.

What does chapter 9 of Bones and I contain?

Chapter 9 holds 112 sentences of Bones and I, unabridged, divided into 23 reading sections.

This page carries chapter 9 of Bones and I by G. J. (George John) Whyte-Melville exactly as it stands in the source edition, without abridgement. It runs to 112 sentences, grouped into 23 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 9 of Bones and I?

Work through the 23 sections in order, replaying any sentence and tapping unfamiliar words for their entries.

Each of the 23 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 9 be read aloud to me?

Yes — every sentence and every individual word in chapter 9 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.

RUS IN URBE _Romæ Tibur Amem, ventosus.
Tibure Romam!_ quoth the Latin satirist, ridiculing his own foibles, like his neighbour’s, with the laughing, half-indulgent banter that makes him the pleasantest, the chattiest, and the most companionable of classic writers.
How he loved the cool retirement of his Sabine home, its grassy glades, its hanging woodlands, its fragrant breezes wandering and whispering through those summer slopes, rich in the countless allurements of a landscape that— “Like Albunea’s echoing fountain, All my inmost heart hath ta’en; Give me Anio’s headlong torrent, And Tiburnus’ grove and hills, And its orchards sparkling dewy, With a thousand wimpling rills,” as Theodore Martin translates his Horace, or thus, according to Lord Ravensworth— “Like fair Albunea’s sybil-haunted hall, By rocky Anio’s echoing waterfall, And Tibur’s orchards and high-hanging wood, Reflected graceful in the whirling flood.”
His lordship, you observe, who can himself write Latin lyrics as though he had drunk with Augustus, and capped verses with Ovid, makes the second syllable of Albunea long, and a very diffuse argument might be held on this disputed quantity.
Compare these with the original, and say which you like best— “Quam domus Albuneæ resonantis, Et præceps Anio ac Tiburni lucus et uda Mobilibus pomaria rivis.”
