To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
These fish-stalls are veryquaint in appearance, for they are hung with garlands of dried'scharretje' (a white, thin, leathery-looking fish), which dangle infront, and form a most original decoration. In the towns a separate dayand evening are set apart for the servant classes to go to the fair, andthere is also a day for the _elite_.
At the commencement of the reign of King William III. The whole Court, including the King and Queen, used to meet at The Hague Kermis on theLange Voorhout on Thurs...day afternoons, between two and four o'clock, andwalk up and down between the double row of stalls; and in the evening ofthat day they all visited either the most renowned circus of the season orwent to see the 'Kermis stuk, ' or special play acted in fan-time.
The servants' evening, as it is held in Rotterdam, is the mostcharacteristic. It is an evening shunned by the more respectable people, for the 'Kermisgangers are a very rowdy lot. They amuse themselves chieflyby running along the streets in long rows, arm-in-arm, singing'Hossen--hossen-hossen!' They also treat each other to 'Nieuw rood metsuiker'--black currants preserved in gin with sugar--until they are allquite tipsy, and woe to any quiet pedestrian who has the misfortune topass their way, for with loud 'Hi-has' they encircle him and make him'hos' with them.
