VI The grove of Ashtaroth Wood magic VII The riding of Ninemileburn Plain Folk VIII The Kings of Orion Babylon IX The green glen The wise years [Updater's note: Chapter 9 missing from etext] X The rime of True Thomas FROM THE PENTLANDS LOOKING NORTH AND SOUTH

Around my feet the clouds are drawn In the cold mystery of the dawn; No breezes cheer, no guests intrude My mossy, mist-clad solitude; When sudden down the steeps of sky Flames a long, lightening wind.

On high The steel-blue arch shines clear, and far, In the low lands where cattle are, Towns smoke.

And swift, a haze, a gleam,-- The Firth lies like a frozen stream, Reddening with morn.

What does chapter 1 of The Moon Endureth: Tales and Fancies contain?

Chapter 1 holds 169 sentences of The Moon Endureth: Tales and Fancies, unabridged, divided into 34 reading sections.

This page carries chapter 1 of The Moon Endureth: Tales and Fancies by John Buchan exactly as it stands in the public-domain source edition, without abridgement. It runs to 169 sentences, grouped into 34 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 1 of The Moon Endureth: Tales and Fancies?

Work through the 34 sections in order, replaying any sentence and tapping unfamiliar words for their entries.

Each of the 34 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 1 be read aloud to me?

Yes — every sentence and every individual word in chapter 1 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.
