What does chapter 17 of The Spanish Cavalier: A Story of Seville contain?

Chapter 17 holds 73 sentences of The Spanish Cavalier: A Story of Seville, unabridged, divided into 15 reading sections.

This page carries chapter 17 of The Spanish Cavalier: A Story of Seville by A. L. O. E. exactly as it stands in the source edition, without abridgement. It runs to 73 sentences, grouped into 15 sections of at most 5 sentences so that a reader can take the chapter in steady, finishable pieces.

How do I study chapter 17 of The Spanish Cavalier: A Story of Seville?

Work through the 15 sections in order, replaying any sentence and tapping unfamiliar words for their entries.

Each of the 15 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 17 be read aloud to me?

Yes — every sentence and every individual word in chapter 17 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.

ARRESTED.

"Inez!--truant!

I have lost you all the morning!" cried Alcala, as he heard the approach of his sister.

Inez was surprised on entering the room to see that the wounded man had managed to rise and dress himself without assistance.

"I waited for you till I had no patience for longer waiting," continued Alcala cheerfully; "you have carried away my Book, and have been so buried in its contents that you have quite forgotten your brother."
