To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Sir Peregrine and myself.
Beef and venison were rapidly consumed, and strong port and sherry, varied by deep draughts of John Barley- corn, as rapidly disappeared; faces waxed red and apo- plectic, and tongues, now loosened from the bands of shyness and reserve, chattered in deafening confusion. Toasts of loyalty and patriotism serve to bring in the chief event of the evening, and the steward of the estate, rapping loudly on the table, obtains a dead silence, truly appalling to old Farmer Scale...s, who, in right of seniority, has taken upon himself the office of proposing the young 'squire's health. The sturdy yeoman has not, as he honestly confesses, " the gift of the gab " ; but when he wants a word he waits for it with a patience and deter- mination that would drive a nervous man frantic. The pauses become longer and longer as the orator gets deeper into his subject, till an extremely abrupt con- clusion and an ambiguous compliment, referring to the fatted calf being slain on my return, empties every bumper of "black strap" like a shot, and vociferous 172 DIGBY GRAND heering proves that Farmer Scales has completely expressed the feelings of his audience.
