To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Anything might happen to her — imprisonment, torture, Siberia, death.
But powerful minds rebound from the errors they have committed, or the misfortunes that have befallen them, with a force proportionate to that which has im- pelled them to disaster, and possess a self-sustaining energy that causes them to recuperate when lesser minds would sink.
Madame la Ressource, now as always, was equal to the occasion. She knew that if she could but obtain an audience of the Empress she could retrieve he...r position. Elizabeth, ill, weak, and easily imposed on, could be bullied into pardoning her. To procure this audience she feigned an illness and remained for days in bed. It was rumoured that she was dying. In such a condition the Empress was obliged to see her, and in the audience that was finally granted her Catherine succeeded in com- pletely regaining the Imperial favour. She did more.
CATHERINE II 117 She managed to discredit her husband, who from that moment till his accession three years later, was forced to rely altogether on his crafty wife for such consideration as he received from his exasperated aurit.
