To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
. . . He heard the girl's voice in his ear, a choking whisper : "Is she going? Is it the end?" He nodded, and the whisper went on : "Just before you came she spoke. She said she knew, and she wanted to be buried under the tree, under the peepul tree. . . . " He nodded again. She poured something into a glass and held it out to him. "Try, " she urged, w perhaps she could take it. " To please her he tried, though he knew it was useless.

" Yet Philip felt it was all ennobled by the sound faith, the unswerving purpose of the strong, simple soul whose work on earth was over. For a few moments there was silence; even the stifled, convul- sive sobbing of the ayah crouched at the foot of the bed had ceased; the woman hid her face in her wrapper.
