To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

Morton was seen to look more haggard and careworn every day, mild excitement gave place to anxiety.
" There were vague hints now as to foul play. The news had leaked out that the missing gentle- man was carrying a large sum of money on the day of his disappearance. There were also vague rumours of a scandal not unconnected with Mrs. Morton herself and her own past history, which in her anxiety for her husband she had been forced to reveal to the detective-inspector in charge of the case.
"Then
...on Saturday the news which the late evening papers contained was this: " ' Acting on certain information received, the police to-day forced an entrance into one of the rooms of Russell House, a high-class furnished apartment on the King's Parade, and there they discovered our missing distinguished townsman, Mr. Francis Morton, who had been robbed and subsequently locked up in that room since Wednes- day, the iyth. When discovered he was in the last stages of inanition; he was tied into an arm- chair with ropes, a thick wool shawl had been wound round his mouth, and it is a positive marvel that, left thus without food and with very little air, the unfortunate gentleman survived the hor- rors of these four days of incarceration.
