To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
If a dance be on the tapis, great are the exertions to enlist, from far and near, the assistance of proficients in waltz and gallop. To secure the attendance of the agile Mrs. Hoppington, the gentle- men of a saltatory turn will send all their horses out upon the road to bring her carriage in some forty or fifty miles (' laying a dawk ' this is called) ; and to induce Captain Saraband to put in an appearance, the dancing ladies will do anything, from writing to the Commander-in-Chief to foregoi...ng a new bonnet. In the cold season the society collected may be entertained in a variety of ways. Sky races, pic-nics, and cricket-matches keep the merry- makers employed during the day; and the small station, for a time, has a very pleasant carnival in full swing. And it is well that this should be so, for were it otherwise the Anglo-Indians of small stations would, in many instances, become creatures of one idea, wholly unfit to hold their own in the wider streams of society. As it is, the intercommunication of ideas is singularly restricted.
