What does chapter 33 of The Works of Robert Louis Stevenson — Vol. 06 contain?

Chapter 33 holds 501 sentences of The Works of Robert Louis Stevenson — Vol. 06, unabridged, divided into 101 reading sections.

This page carries chapter 33 of The Works of Robert Louis Stevenson — Vol. 06 by Robert Louis Stevenson exactly as it stands in the source edition, without abridgement. It runs to 501 sentences, grouped into 101 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 33 of The Works of Robert Louis Stevenson — Vol. 06?

Work through the 101 sections in order, replaying any sentence and tapping unfamiliar words for their entries.

Each of the 101 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 33 be read aloud to me?

Yes — every sentence and every individual word in chapter 33 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.

TREASURE TROVE The Doctor's carriage was a two-wheeled gig with a hood; a kind of vehicle in much favour among country doctors.
On how many roads has one not seen it, a great way off between the poplars!--in how many village streets, tied to a gate-post!
This sort of chariot is affected--particularly at the trot--by a kind of pitching movement to and fro across the axle, which well entitles it to the style of a Noddy.
The hood describes a considerable arc against the landscape, with a solemnly absurd effect on the contemplative pedestrian.
To ride in such a carriage cannot be numbered among the things that appertain to glory; but I have no doubt it may be useful in liver complaint.
