To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
I knew both these men, and I was well aware of how difficult was the game they had to play. The latter was a clever and thoroughly honest French Canadian of engaging man- ners, and a general favourite in all classes of society. In his youth he had himself trifled with rebellion, but had since then become a most loyal subject. He had great influence amongst his own people, whom he thoroughly understood.
But, to be their leader, he had to bow down before their bigoted and ignorant priesthood, for... whom in his heart he had little love and no respect. He dared not, however, run counter to their narrow, clerical views and aspirations, 50 his task was by no means an easy one, even for so practised a pohtician. A poor man, he was himself above suspicion in all money matters, but to maintain his position as a leader he had at times to resort to gross jobbery.
