To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Just beyond Eppeghem we met a troop of cavalry convoying a high cart filled with peasants, who had evidently been taken prisoners. The officer in charge was a nervous chap, who came riding at us, brandishing his revolver, which he had tied to the pommel of his saddle with a long cord. He was most indignant that we had been allowed to come this far and reluctantly admitted that our pass was good. All the time he talked with us and told us of the skirmishing ahead he kept waving that large blunde...rbuss in our faces. I tried a little humour on him by saying, as nearly as the unwieldy structure of the German tongue would permit, " Please point that thing the other way ; you can never tell when it may go off and hurt somebody. " He was quite solemn about it, however, and assured us that he had perfect control over it, emphasising his remarks by shaking it under our noses. I was glad to get out of his range, for I verily believe that if some- body had shouted boo ! he would have let that gun off with a bang.
