To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It was a blow that must have killed him, but for the interposing hat, now battered down upon his bleeding head. Charles, at length thoroughly aroused, though his foe must be a brother, struggled with unusual strength in self-preserving instinct, wrested the club from Julian's hand, and stood on the defensive.
Julian was staggered: and, after a moment's irresolution, drawing a pistol from his pocket, said, in a terribly calm voice, "Now, sir! I have looked for such a meeting many days — alone, b...y night, with you ! I would not willingly draw trigger, for the noise might bring down other folks upon us, out of Oxton yonder : but, drop that stick, or I fire." Charles was noble enough, without another word, to fling the club into the river : it was not fear of harm, but fear of sin, that made him trust himself defenceless to a brother, a twin-brother, in the dark: he could not be so base, a murderer, a fratricide ! Oh ! most unhallowed thought!
Save him from this crime, good God ! Then, instantaneously reflecting, and believing he decided for the best, when he saw the ruffian glaring on him with exulting looks, as upon an unarmed rival at his mercy, with no man near to stay the deed, and none but God to see it, Charles resolved to seek safety from so terrible a death in flight.
