To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
This might form a legal bond, according to Irish law, for anything we know, unlikely as it seems. But we wonder whether the Church would have had nothing to say, had two high dignitaries united in an act so disorderly and contrary to ecclesiastical decorum if to nothing else? It is totally unlike Swift, whose feeling for the Church was strong, to have used her ordinances so disrespectfully, and most unlike all we know of Stella that she should have wished for so utterly false a relationship. Ho...wever, the question is one which the reader must decide according to his own judgment, and upon which no one can speak with authority. Mr. Forster, we are glad to believe, of all Swift's biographers the most elaborate and anxious, though he did not get so far in his work, yet intimates his disbelief of the story : but he is the only one who does so. It is accepted and believed by all the rest (^ We do not need, however, to have recourse to the ex- pedient of this secret marriage in order to explain how Vanessa's existence might have been a pain to Stella.
