To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
A handsome rug, a pair of Pulgarees a large ivory cutter, and some other small articles were almost forced upon me, and although I beat them down to about one-third of the asking price, yet I imagine they made a good profit. We found, in the course of an hour's drive about the suburbs of the city, that roses and various flowers grow well, as, also, the orange and lemon. Some of the orange groves that we passed were the largest I've yet met with. Handsome bungalows were located near, or in their... midst, and I imagined their occupants had about as much comfort as anybody in India; for they have rather a temperate climate and are only compelled to resort to the hill stations dur- ing the very hottest months — viz., from July to Oc- tober. For nearly four months fires are requisite, and the ruddy complexions of the Europeans we met gave evidence that they were not sufferers from the heat. I visited the carpet and rug manufactory of one of their best firms, Davee, Sahai, Chumba, Hull, and saw a large number of looms in operation.
