Chapter 29 of Doctor Cupid: A Novel is here in full — 214 sentences across 43 reading sections, with audio for every sentence and word.

Chapter 29 of Doctor Cupid: A Novel by Rhoda Broughton holds 214 sentences, grouped into 43 reading sections of at most 5 sentences.

What does chapter 29 of Doctor Cupid: A Novel contain?

Chapter 29 holds 214 sentences of Doctor Cupid: A Novel, unabridged, divided into 43 reading sections.

This page carries chapter 29 of Doctor Cupid: A Novel by Rhoda Broughton exactly as it stands in the source edition, without abridgement. It runs to 214 sentences, grouped into 43 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 29 of Doctor Cupid: A Novel?

Work through the 43 sections in order, replaying any sentence and tapping unfamiliar words for their entries.

Each of the 43 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 29 be read aloud to me?

Yes — every sentence and every individual word in chapter 29 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.

If there is one hour of the day at which the little Red House looks conspicuously better than another, it is that young one when the garden grass is still wet to the travelling foot, and the great fire-rose in the east has not yet soared high enough to swallow the shadows.
So Talbot thinks, as he takes his way next morning to his love's little russet-coloured home.
She has promised over-night to rise betimes, to give him an early tryst before he sets off on his dusty journey back into the world without her.
He is of course by much too early; and though he tries to hasten the passage of time by looking at his watch every two minutes, yet he is compelled, if he would not be at her door long before it is opened to him, to journey towards her at a very different rate from that at which his heart is doing.
He walks along, drawing in refreshment of soul and body with every breath.
