To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
A tiny, old-fashioned museum - The Havelock, they called it -tucked away in one of those quiet grey squares between the London Library and St James’s. A place in which one might have expected to meet anything -except one’s fate. It was November — somehow it always seems to be in that part of London – with the bobbles on the plane trees swirling out of the mist and splayed leaves on the pavement. My wife wouldn’t come – she had an ‘engagement’ and because I suspected what that engagement ...was, it was with the familiar ache gnawing at my stomach that I paid my entrance fee, walked past the bust of William Havelock in his pith helmet and found myself gazing into the placid eyes of an aardvark standing solidly astride his piece of painted veld. A family of white-tailed gnus stared from a glass case, a sea-lion reared its majestic chest from a mahogany plinth. It was very quiet. I wandered past a case of exotic butterflies, models of outrigger canoes in bark, dice made out of knuckle-bones… Havelock clearly had collected everything.
