To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Upon recovering my strength a little, I unloosed the handkerchief with which I had bound the fair stranger's hands around my neck ; then tenderly placed her in the most comfortable position, and strove to reanimate her ; but without success, for she remained unconscious* in spite of my efforts. Then I started up in quest of assistance. What was my astonishment — I might almost say horror — to find that the nearest house, only some fifty yards from the river's bank, was of a deep red colour ! It... at once struck me as being the Maison Rouge of the assassins. Dark stories I had heard of doings on the river Seine, now recurred to my mind ; but I was quickly recalled to the necessity of prompt action, by hearing the church bells strike half-past eleven, and remembering that the tall man had appointed midnight as the time for what I now imagined meant their meeting on this very spot. Running back to where I had left my insensible charge, I lifted her in my arms and carried her to the door of the first house beyond the red one.
