To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In the distance might be seen the little bands marching towards La Clairiere, on one side, and M. Barbou's country-house (* La Corbeille des Raisins') on the other. It goes without saying that I did not want M. Barbou, but it was the first errand I could think of. Towards the city, just where the darkness A BELEAGUERED CITY. 1 83 began that enveloped it, sat Madame Dupln. That sainte-femme was praying for her hus- band, who could doubt ? And under the trees, wherever they could find a favourabl...e spot, my men lay down on the grass, and most of them fell asleep. My eyes were heavy enough, but responsibility drives away rest. I had but one nap of five minutes' duration, leaning against a tree, when it occurred to me that Jacques Richard, whom I sent under escort half- drunk to the tent, was not the most admir- able companion for that poor visionary Lecamus, who had been accommodated there. I roused myself, therefore, though unwillingly, to see whether these two, so discordant, could agree.
