To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Hammond and Jones Barry will have to ask the question, before witnesses, which is the better man. " " Pshaw ! pshaw ! You haven't drank quite enough, Jones, for a sensible judgment in this matter. A few glasses more will give you the right pitch for thinking. Now, let me tell you, I won't have you make a judy of yourself in this fashion. Hammond's a man whom you'll do well to have no quarrel with. He's an ugly customer. He'll be slow to take his gripe — won't do it, as long as he can decently h...elp it ; but when he does, he takes hold like a bulldog, and never lets go till his teeth meet in the flesh. Y'ou're a fool, Barry. You have fortune, and good liquors ; enjoy yourself in all sorts of ways ; keep blooded horses and run races ; a fine parcel of gamebirds, and enjoy the cockpit like the Napoleon of Mexico. Y T ou keep the best of wines, and are not afraid to drink them ; you can ride, run, and fight, and enjoy yourself in all three ways, in one day — now with a goose, and now with a clown ; and have, be- sides, a devilish keen eye for the women, so that you'll be thinking of one seven miles off, while another's in your lap.
