To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Yet another illustration of Boswell's truly amus- ing knack — save to the victim — of saying a dis- agreeable thing in the most disagreeable way. The following could hardly be excelled : CH. IV. ] ANIMOSITIES 91 A certain statement of Mrs. Piozzi's, which he had declined to accept for his book, he later found to be quite correct, so he made this amende : " I am obliged in so many instances to notice Mrs. Piozzi's incorrectness of narrative that I gladly seize this opportunity of " — what ? begg...ing her pardon handsomely? — nothing of the sort — " of say- ing that, however often, she is not ahvays incori^ect. '' He excelled in this backbiting art, and showed original ingenuity. He had devised a method of setting a couple of folks by the ears with little trouble. His system was this : to take note of a malicious or sarcastic speech uttered by one friend of another, enjoy it heartily and think it " such a good thing"; then hurry away with it to this last, and repeat it with due gout and enjoyment, asking, however, quite innocently, " Was the case so ?" He only asked for information.
