To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Give me the candle. I '11 go and talk to the gentle- men" A glance sufficed to convince Ravensworth that the expression of vulgar defiance, the dog- ged look, the air of obstinate determination, marked him as the " superior " of this mo- nastery of misery.
" My good man, we wish to see your lodger, Mrs. Richards," said Dudley, in a tone of con- ciliation.
" See heri first pay her lodging — two weeks' rent due," replied the man.
"Here," said Ravensworth, taking out his purse ; " what 's your dem...and ? " COMPTON AUDLEY. 123 " Why," replied the man, " rent, board, firing, medicine — a pound will do it." " There, then, take it, and let us see her." " Well, walk on ; but you may as well pay for her funeral at once, for she "s as good as dead," replied the unfeeling villain, still eyeing Ravensworth , s purse.
Disgusted with the ruffian's brutal de- meanour, he hastily entered the cellar, when a scene of wretchedness presented itself that baffles description. The cutting easterly wind knifed its way through the dilapidated walls (which were here and there darkened with spots of damp) of a bare and miserable room, desti- tute of furniture ; the rain beat through the broken casement, while a woful fire of two damp logs, portions of an old water-tub, gave no warmth to the decay.
