To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Allan paused — perhaps he was startled at the echo of his voice. In another moment, he dropped the instrument from his out- stretched hands, and stood erect, his eyes glaring wildly as if some ghastly spectre invisible to others had appeared to him. The measured and now rapid tread of a well-known step had reached his ear as it passed along the stone passages of the abbey, and full before liim, clad in all the terrors of insulted majesty, stood the appalling form of Stephen Grey !
THE IRON RULE.... 115 CHAPTER VI .
It was not often that Stephen Grey had recourse to the strong arm to enforce obe- dience, or execute vengeance ; but, on the present occasion, his anger having being heightened by arri^^ng, after a tedious jour- ney, at a deserted home, and learning from the few domestics who remained, that his family were acting a play at the Abbey, we are sorry to have to record that personal vio- lence was not entirely withheld ; for there stood his son Allan, the object of his continual displeasure, so confounded with a sense of his own delinquency, so temptingly helpless, and so unresisting in his degradation, that the 116 HOME, OR indignant father strode upon the stage where his poor boy stood motionless, as if rooted to the spot by some mysterious spell, and seizing the loose drapery which hung about his shoul- ders, would have hurled him at once amongst the astonished audience, but that, fortunately for him, his minstrel's cloak gave way, and remained as a trophy of victory in his father's hand.
