To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
You know enough of Paris to know the look ofit; the stuffed horsehair-covered chairs, a table covered with a greencloth, a trumpery clock between a couple of candle sconces, growingtarnished under glass shades, the small gilt-framed mirror over thechimney-piece, and in the grate a charred stick or two of firewoodwhich had lasted them for two winters, as my head-clerk put it. As forthe office, you can guess what it was like--more letter-files thanbusiness letters, a set of common pigeon-holes fo...r either partner, acylinder desk, empty as the cash-box, in the middle of the room, and acouple of armchairs on either side of a coal fire. The carpet on thefloor was bought cheap at second-hand (like the bills and bad debts). In short, it was the mahogany furniture of furnished apartments whichusually descends from one occupant of chambers to another during fiftyyears of service. Now you know the pair of antagonists.
"During the first three months of a partnership dissolved four monthslater in a bout of fisticuffs, Cerizet and Claparon bought up twothousand francs' worth of bills bearing Maxime's signature (sinceMaxime was his name), and filled a couple of letters to bursting withjudgments, appeals, orders of the court, distress-warrants, application for stay of proceedings, and all the rest of it; to put itbriefly, they had bills for three thousand two hundred francs oddcentimes, for which they had given five hundred francs; the transferbeing made under private seal, with special power of attorney, to savethe expense of registration.
