To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
" "Did he show much intelligence?" "Yes, sir, he was very intelligent. Every day I walked with him on thetop of the Tower, holding him under the arm. He had a tumour at hisknee, which gave him a great deal of pain. " "But it is said that another child was substituted for him, and thatthe real dauphin was smuggled out of the Tower?" "That is a false idea. I used to be a captain of the French Gardes inthe old days, and in that capacity I often saw the young dauphin. Ihave attended him in the Jard...in des Feuillants, and I am convincedthat the child who was under my care was the same. I was condemned todeath; but the events of the 9th Thermidor saved my life. I wascondemned, at the instigation of Saint-Just, who caused me to bearrested by eight gens d'armes. I solemnly declare that the child whodied in my arms was in reality Louis XVII. " "That he was undoubtedly the same child?" "Undoubtedly the same child, with the same features and the samefigure. " More than one impostor has tripped, stumbled, and fallen over thatdeclaration.
