To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

The said wasps are at their worst in the end of August and beginning of September, though there are those who think the commotion they cause by far the worst part of the wasp visitation. In point of fact, the wasp has no desire to sting except in self-defence, and therefore it is wiser to let her alone in her investigations, though when they happen to concern our own dinner and our own heads they are p 2IO AN OLD WOMAN'S OUTLOOK teasing, but infinitely less so than jumping about and making dabs... at her, which may very justly exasperate her. In truth, the modern female ought to have a sympathy with her, as she and her sisters, like the working bees, ants, and hornets, are the useful spinsters of the community. The wasp, too, is a worthier character than the bee, though less valuable to us. She does not murder her drone, but lets him be service- able at home, until the final doom, when all die together of frost, except the valiant queens. Instead of spitefully killing their daughters, and when withheld, bouncing forth with a huge bodyguard, whizzing behind them, these heroines go out alone in solitude to be the valiant founders of fresh colonies.
