To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The ever-green hedge was trampled in places, as if by the inroads of cattle ; and a flock of poultry were basking in the beams of the morning sun, and burying themselves busily among the light mould of the partially cultivated garden. Por- tions of the ivy had been torn, or had fallen from the roof and walls of the cottage, and now lay trailing across the grass-grown path ; while the last touch of discomfort was given to the exterior of the building by the substitution of rags and straw for the... missing glass of the shivered casements.
With a deep sigh, as though the desolation on which he now looked brought with it asso- 224 THE HARDENS.
ciations yet sadder, the stranger flung the bridle of his horse over a projecting branch of the ma- jestic cedar tree which supported on one side the narrow wicket of the little garden ; and, stepping over the gate which, torn from its hinges, only partially performed its allotted office, he walked rapidly along the path which led to the cottage. He struck loudly upon the door with the handle of his riding-whip, but the summons was unanswered ; after the pause of a moment he renewed it, and was im- mediately conscious that although it elicited no reply, it was nevertheless not unheard, for he detected the sound of suppressed laughter from within ; the light mirth, as it seemed, of child- hood ; and under the impression that it was the mere roguish love of mischief so common to infancy which detained him at the door, he lifted the latch, and entered.
