From the book

A prompt from this edition.

Every chapter of the Commonplace Edition closes with a prompt.

Commonplace

Seeing the great crowd, the Archbishop expects to find a worthy king among the lords. Merlin smiles and says the one who proves worthy may be among “those who are unknown.” Look back through the Prologue. Which earlier sentences already hint who that might be? Mark each, and say which hint is plainest.

At the close of the Prologue, The Story of King Arthur and His Knights.
