To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Skirlaugh was of a de- cidedly social turn. The gossip of the day interested her much more than it did her husband ; and, being of a far less retrospective and more practical cast of mind, she felt that he lost no inconsiderable portion of the kind of influence he most highly prized by neglect- ing a few social courtesies. Though a lady, not only by education, but by birth on the side of each of her parents, her mind had been formed in early years among a far different class of influences to he...r husband's ; and, therefore, the very slight matters which in many cases ruffled his temper when in the society of his equals, passed over hers without notice.
There was, also, another motive — some will say a higher one — which had much weight with the good lady. Deeply skilled in all those sciences which we, who know them not even by name, must generalize M 2 164 RALF SKIUr.AUGH.
under the one inadequate term — cookery — she knew the effect of her ever vigilant superintendence. She was quite aware that the power she couhl communicate to lier domestics over the forms and flavours of things, was well-nigh unlimited ; and with a feminine vanity, for which such of our readers as enjoy a good dinner will readil}^ pardon her, she was at times, like many other ladies of the period, exceedingly anxious to show her skill.
