To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Gentlemen, look at him !
Why he weighs twelve stone now! He has three inches of fat on his ribs this minute ! He would make as many links of sausage as any hog that ever squealed at midnight in his slaughter pen, and has lard enough in him to cook it all. Look at his face ! why, his chops remind a hungry man of his jowls and greens. If this is a shadow, in the name of propriety, why didn't he show himself, when in flesh, at the last Fair, be- side the Kentucky ox ; that were a more honest way o...f making a living than stealing hogs. But Hig is pining in grief! I wonder the poetic youth — his learned counsel — did not quote Shakespeare again. 'He never told his' — woe-^'but let con- cealment, like the worm i' the bud, prey on his damask cheek.' 202 SOUTHERN LITERATURE He looked like Patience on a monument smiling at grief — or beef, I should rather say. But, gentlemen, probably I am wrong; it may be that this tender-hearted, sensitive butcher, was lean before, and like Falstaff, throws the blame of his fat on sorrow and sighing, which 'has puffed him up like a blad- der.' (Here Higginbotham left in disgust.) "There, gentlemen, he goes, 'larding the lean earth as he walkes along.' Well has Doctor Johnson said, 'who kills fat oxen should himself be fat.' Poor Hig!
