To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Our sergeant was one of these; I recognized him at once, and trembled for him.
Every time these veterans gave fire, five or six THE BLOCKADE 147 Cossacks came on like the wind, with their lances lowered; but it did not frighten them: they leaned against a tree and levelled their bayonets. Other veterans came up, and then some loaded, while oth- ers parried the blows. Scarcely had they torn open their cartridges when the Cossacks fled right and left, their lances in the air. Some of them turned ...for a moment and fired their large pistols behind like regular bandits. At length our men began to march toward the city.
Those old soldiers, with their great shakos set square on their heads, their large capes hanging to the back of their calves, their sabres and cartridge- boxes on their backs, calm in the midst of these savages, reloading, trimming, and parrying as quiet- ly as if they were smoking their pipes in the guard- house, were something to be admired. At last, af- ter seeing them come out of the whirlwind two or three times, it seemed almost an easy thing to do.
