To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
First, her maids washed it beautifully cleanwith the juice of the lime and the lather of the soap-nut; then itwas combed and brushed until every hair glistened like ebony; next itwas twisted up and stuck full of the quaint golden and tortoise-shellbodkins, with here and there a spray of jasmine and chumpaka.
Busuk's milky-white teeth had to be filed off more than a fourth. Sheput her head down on the lap of the woman and closed her eyes tightto keep back the hot tears that would fall, but after... the pain wasover and her teeth were blackened, she looked in the mirror at herswollen gums and thought that she was very beautiful. Now she couldchew the betel-nut from the box her mother had given her!
The palms of her hands and the nails of her fingers and toes werepainted red with henna, and the lids of her eyes touched up withantimony. When all was finished, they led her out into the great room, which was decorated with mats of colored palm, masses of sweet-smellingflowers and maidenhair fern.
