From the book
A prompt from this edition.
Every chapter of the Commonplace Edition closes with a prompt.
Commonplace
Dete is “only six-and-twenty,” she says, and Alm-Uncle “at least seventy”; then she tells Barbel his story. Underline what Dete could have seen for herself, and bracket what she only heard or what was “rumoured.” When Heidi says “Good-evening, Grandfather,” how much of the story do you trust?
