To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Abbott Law- rence, who had been our minister to England, and was himself a man of wealth and distinction and an exquisite gentleman of the severe Boston school, whose ethics were wholly at variance with that spirit of liberality which was all Sallie Ward had hitherto known. Developed in an atmosphere of almost passionate ad- miration, love and appreciation had become as neces- sary to her being as light and air. Transplanted in the very effulgence of her bloom to a frigid temperature of critica...l and unsympathetic surroundings, all her spon- taneous grace congealed into acts of deliberate effron- tery. Bewildered by a chill she had never before felt, too young and inexperienced in the ways of the world beyond those of her own genial climate, where she had 155 FAMOUS AMERICAN BELLES been a law unto herself, to realize aught of the value of mutual concessions, she struck blindly against the cold conventionality in which she felt herself encaged. It was a strange and almost cruel fate that put her in the bosom of the Lawrence family, and occasioned as much suffering to her Southern heart as to their Northern sensibilities.
