To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
" Drawing gently out of his grasp, which had grown possessive, she stood looking at him with a smile in which tenderness and irony mingled; and the tenderness was her own, while the irony seemed to belong to the vision of an impersonal spectator of life. The smile fascinated him. He could not withdraw his gaze from it, and yet it had the disturbing effect of placing her at an emotional distance. "Your mother is very good to me, " she said, "but I feel somehow as if I had taken an unfair advanta...ge of her. And you hadn't even told her, " she added, "that we are going to take an apartment in June. " "Oh, that's all right there's plenty of time, " he responded irritably. "Only you mustn't make moun tains out of molehills. " Then, because she dreaded his anger, she gave up her point as she had given up many before. He was ir responsible, but he was hers and she loved him. "I am so sleepy, " she said, stifling a yawn, "that I feel as if I could cry. " ? Marriage, at the end of a month, had already dis- ciplined the fearless directness of Gabriella.
