To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
He go home for something he forget, but shall return before the soup be remove.' A knock at once announced the return of Mr. Maxwell, so that no delay occurred.
Sir Harry Highflyer, as is well known, was one of the most agreeable table-companions of his day. He was a man of ready and pleasant wit ; and, whatever may have been his faults at other times and in other places (and nu- merous and grave indeed they were,) he was faultless at the head of his own table. Never the, retailer of other men'...s stories, and seldom the hero of his own, he enter- tained a mortal aversion of your mere story-teller. * The original sin,' he used to say, * has entailed a curse on all the pleasures of life, and storytelling is the curse of convivial- ity. The nonsense of the moment is a thousand times pre- ferable to the most exquisite piece of wit, ready cut and dried for the occasion, that ever was uttered, or the best ready-made story that ever was told.' He held noise to be subversive of mirth — (of cheerfulness it certainly is) — in- stead of an assistant to, or an evidence of it : and, strange as it may appear, he could not endure a coarse joke or an obscene story.
