To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
His tongue was out, and we heard his panting as he passed us. There was no speed lost by lofty bounding, as we often see in the deer, as he dashes through the forest ; no looking back over his shoulder, and waiving his white flag in defiance, as if glorying in the speed of his flight. But his nose pointed straight out one way, and his tail the other, as he stretched himself like a race-horse, in long low bounds, every muscle strained to escape. Again we cheered on the dog, and away they went in... another heat round the island. Shortly after the cry of Shack rounded the lower end of the island, we saw the deer plunge into the water, and strike out for the main land. Shack, too, plunged after him in pursuit, but the buck was greatly his su- perior in swimming, and he soon gave over and re- turned to the island. We might easily have over- taken the deer with our canoe, but we had no occasion for venison, and we let him go. We watched him as he swam manfully for the shore, leaving a long wake in the still water behind him.
