From the book

A prompt from this edition.

Every chapter of the Commonplace Edition closes with a prompt.

Commonplace

Mr. Campbell holds David at arm’s length, his face “all working with sorrow,” then jogs off backward. David, who is “overjoyed” to be going, scolds himself for “such black ingratitude.” Underline what David told the minister on the road. Does he deserve the scolding?

At the close of Chapter I, Kidnapped.
