To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Carlos got out, winding the lines about the whip stock. The horse floundered through drifts, and he, adjusting his cap to the veering gusts, trudged at his head. At length, we debouched upon the direct road to the village. But, barring our way was a machine-gun squad. Already the red signals had been posted and the route was defendu. Even as we halted, came volleys like staccato hail. On other occasions, with honking horn, we have run this gauntlet, the sentries halting the fire for us to pass.... But to-day, I judged it safer to turn down into a hollow, and skirt the ac- tion. Thus delayed, it was near noon when we turned into the gate of the Chateau at Canizy. We were expected, however; coffee was hot upon the stove, and the soldier en permission En Permission 123 served it, stirring the cups in rotation with the one family spoon. Madame, our new domestic, was ready also, with quite a store of bedding and clothing done up in a sack. Two kisses apiece, a last admonition, a promise to come to see her on Sunday, and she climbed up over the wheel.
