To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Could he, who but once in his life had mastered her, and that by the force of supreme indignation, master her again in his cooler temper of to-night ?
' Let me think how she tried to kill my brother, how she would have made me an unconscious accom- BUSINESS FOR AUNT JOOLY. 157 plice in his murder,' he said to himself, as he opened the door.
Within, all was dark and di-eary. It seemed strange that there should be no gleam of firelight on this winter night. He went into the kitchen, which smelt o...f damp, and groped about for candle and matches. Having found these and lighted his candle, he went into the parlour and looked about him. All was empty, dull, and cheerless ; the neat little room, once so snug and bright upon winter evenings, had the aspect of a place which has been long uninhabited. Mark's heart sank as he looked at the hearth where he had so often romped with his boys, tossing and tumbling them over and over like a litter of puppies, in the rosy firelight. He had not been happy beside that fire, for discontent and dis- cord had been the sauce to his meat, and the bitter in his cup, from almost the beginning of things ; but there were some sweet memories, nevertheless — childish kisses, childish laughter, chubby arms en- twined about his neck.
