To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
" Nelly needna be lang in want o' a parrot to tak the place o' her pretty Poll, as she ca's it, that dee'd a fort- nicht syne — see ! there's haill fowre o' them, wi' red breasts an' green backs an' wings, a' sittin' as solemn as elders at a session-meetin', on ae spoke, an' no savin' a single word either. " Scarcely had he finished speaking when a boy, passing along the pavement, poked the point of his cane between the bars of the cage, and the four irritated parrots set up a simultaneous scre...am and chatter. " A' swearin' at ance noo, like sae mony fishwives, " exclaimed Geordie. " And very unlike elders, " I rejoined. " Haw ! haw ! ye hae me there !
