To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
They all said that Li Hung Changand Gordon had laid a trap for the Wangs and had taken them prisoners, but none knew exactly what had happened to them. It was well forGordon that they did not. Probably they would have tortured him in oneof the many hideous ways the Chinese knew so well, and then put him todeath. At length Gordon persuaded his captors to allow him to send amessenger to summon his own bodyguard, and also an order to some of hisother soldiers to seize Li Hung Chang, and not to let... him go until theWangs had safely returned to their own homes.
On the way the messenger met some of Ching's soldiers, who wounded himand tore up Gordon's message. The rebels then allowed Gordon to be hisown messenger; but on the way he met more of Ching's men, who seizedhim, because, they said, he was in company with rebels, and kept himprisoner for several hours.
When at last he got away and reached his own men, he sent a body ofthem to protect the house of Nar Wang's uncle. General Ching arrivedjust then.
