To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
THE FANCY-DRESS BALL 173 It would be poor fun, mind you, to wear heroes' clothes if you had to have a hero's heart as well. Heroes' hearts are torn with all sorts of sorrows. They are most of them famous for their calamities. If they had lived happy, we should never have heard of them. Merope had no wish to dance. Pyr- rhus was cruelly slain by Orestes just when he was going to wed, and the innocent Zaire perished by the hand of her lover the Turk, philosophical Turk though he was. As for Blais...e and Babette, the song says they suffer fond regrets that go on forever.
Why speak of Pierrot and Scapin? You know as well as I do they were scamps, and got their ears pulled more than once.
No! glory costs too dear, even Harlequin's.
On the contrary, it is very agreeable to be little boys and girls, and have the look of being great personages. That is why there is no pleasure to compare with a fancy ball, when the dresses are splendid enough. Only to wear them makes you feel brave. Then think how proud and pretty all your little friends are with their feathers and mantles ; 174 MERRIE TALES how gallant and gay and noble they look, and how like the fine folks of olden times.
