To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
From 30 THE FRENCH MIRACLE) day to day, from hour to hour she listened attentive- ly to the boom of the cannon which was not far off. One morning she learned that the German danger was passing away, and that just as fifteen hundred years before, the barbarian hordes for no apparent reason, were turning away from the capital and marching to the fatal meeting on the fields around Chalons. Paris was saved. Paris under- stood the mystery of her deliverance no more than she had that of fifteen centu...ries before. I dare say that this mystery is to-day more incomprehensible than was that of fifteen hundred years ago. For it would be impossible to compare even very superfici- ally the Paris of the days of Atilla with the Paris of our day. We are not certain that it was a mistake on the part of the king of the Huns to have neglect- ed to take and put to sack the valiant city which was to play such a role in the future, and in any case if it was a mistake, it was one which did not compromise in any way the success of his campaign ; for it was of infinitely greater importance for him to take Orleans, the key to the south, and as a matter of fact it was upon this city that he let loose his howl- ing pack.
