To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
As for Tristram, his very soul shuddered as he looked backupon the journey. He was wet to the skin and aching; his teethchattered with an ague; his legs were so weary that he could scarcelydrag them along. But worse than the shiverings, the weariness, andthe weight of his fetters, were the revolting sights he had witnessedalong the road--men dropping with hunger and faintness, kicked totheir feet again, prodded with bayonets till the blood ran, knoutedwith a thick whip if they broke step, jeere...d at when they shrieked(as some did) for mercy. There was worse to come, and he alone ofall the gang was ignorant of it. Very merciful was the confusion oftongues which hid that knowledge from him for a few hours.
At length they were marched back half a mile and turned into a barn, narrower than their shelter of the previous night. Nor was there anystraw in it. They slept on the hard bricks, pillowing their heads oneach other's legs, or lay awake and listened to their fellows' moans. Two sentries with loaded muskets kept guard by the door, and lookedin whenever a chain clanked or some unfortunate began to rave in hissleep.
