To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The Sunday services of the little Protestantchurch are often attended by Catholics. Strangers passing through Osse, market-folk, peasants and others, never fail to inspect it curiously. The Protestant pastor is looked up to with respect and affection alikeby Catholic and Protestant neighbours. The rival churches neither losenor gain adherents to any extent. This fact is curious, especially in aspot where Protestantism is seen at its best. It shows the extremeconservatism and stability of the Fr...ench character, often set down asrevolutionary and fickle. In England folks often and avowedly changetheir religion several times during their lives. Is not the solemnreception into Rome of instructed men and women among ourselves a matterof every day? In France it is otherwise, and when a change is made weshall generally find that the step is no retrograde one. If the social aspect is encouraging at Osse, the same may be said ofpeasant property. Even a Zola must admit some good in a communityunstained by crime during a period of twenty years, and bound by ties ofbrotherhood which render want impossible.
