To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
But now the landlady lit a lamp to see her new guests; I sup- pose the darkness was what saved us another expul- sion; for I cannot say she looked gratified at our appearance. We were in a large bare apartment, adorned with two allegorical prints of Music and Painting, and a copy of the Law against Public Drunkenness. On one side, there was a bit of a bar, with some half-a-dozen bottles. Two labourers sat waiting supper, in attitudes of extreme weari- ness ; a plain-looking lass bustled about w...ith a sleepy child of two; and the landlady began to derange the pots upon the stove and set some beef-steak to grill. ** These gentlemen are pedlars ? ** she asked sharply. And that was all the conversation forthcom- ing. We began to think we might be pedlars after all. I never knew a population with so narrow a range of conjecture as the inn-keepers of Pont-sur-Sambre. But manners and bearing have* not a wider currency than bank-notes. You have only to get far enough out of your beat, and all your accomplished airs will go for nothing.
