To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The strong indi- viduality, industry, and force of character of the women make themselves felt wherever we go. Whilst the men slumber and smoke, the women are building little fortunes or propping up old ones. All through the land, in the houses, in the factories, and in the fields, the strong, firm hand and arm of a woman does the work. The pedestrian or sportsman, in his wanderings through Brittany, will, if he knows the country, seek, at the end of a long day, the country anberge where a " ho...usehold fairy " presides. The land is full of legends and tales of gnomes and witches, but the reality is a white-capped figure, that welcomes the traveller at the inn-door, the modern re- presentative of "mine host. " Her brightness and attrac- tion, and at the same time her whole armour and coat of mail, are her stiffly starched cap, epaulets and apron of spotless white. She presides at the fetes and weddings which are celebrated at the inns, and joins in the frolics at the end of the day, dancing with the rest up and down the street, and submitting with modest but hearty goodwill to some rather demonstrative tokens of esteem.
