To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
As to the attack upon the baron on the Pont-Neuf, there could be nodoubt that it was instigated by the Duke of Vallombreuse; but howto prove it? that was the difficulty. And even supposing it could beproved, what good would that do? In the eyes of the world the Baronde Sigognac, who carefully concealed his real rank, was only CaptainFracasse, a low play-actor, upon whom a great noble, like the Duke ofVallombreuse, had a perfect right to inflict a beating, imprisonment, oreven assassination, if ...it so pleased him; and that without incurring theblame, or serious disapproval, of his friends and equals.
So far as Isabelle was concerned, if the affair were made public, nobodywould believe that she was really pure and virtuous--the very fact ofher being an actress was enough to condemn her--for her sake it wasimportant to keep the matter secret if possible. So there was positivelyno means of calling their enemy to account for his flagrant misdeeds, though de Sigognac, who was almost beside himself with rage andindignation, and burning to avenge Isabelle's wrongs and his own, sworethat he would punish him, even if he had to move heaven and earthto compass it.
