To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Open the old cigar-box--let me consider anew--Old friends, and who is Maggie that I should abandon you? A million surplus Maggies are willing to bear the yoke;And a woman is only a woman, but a good Cigar is a Smoke. Light me another Cuba--I hold to my first-sworn vows. If Maggie will have no rival, I'll have no Maggie for Spouse! A TALE OF TWO CITIES Where the sober-colored cultivator smiles On his byles;Where the cholera, the cyclone, and the crow Come and go;Where the merchant deals in indig...o and tea, Hides and ghi;Where the Babu drops inflammatory hints In his prints;Stands a City--Charnock chose it--packed away Near a Bay--By the Sewage rendered fetid, by the sewer Made impure, By the Sunderbunds unwholesome, by the swamp Moist and damp;And the City and the Viceroy, as we see, Don't agree. Once, two hundred years ago, the trader came Meek and tame. Where his timid foot first halted, there he stayed, Till mere tradeGrew to Empire, and he sent his armies forth South and NorthTill the country from Peshawur to Ceylon Was his own.
