To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
After thread- ing the wooded aisles, through which she had often walked with Madame de Stael, she wished to pay her respects to her ashes. At some distance from the park is a coppice, mingled with larger trees and environed by hoary walls. This coppice resembles those thickets of wood, in the open country, which sportsmen call spinneys : it is there that death has thrust its prey and enclosed its victims. A sepulchre had been built, beforehand, for Necker, his wife and his daughter ; when the l...atter was placed in it the door of the crypt was walled up. The child of Auguste was buried outside of it. Auguste himself, who died before his child, rests under a stone at the feet of his kindred ; on the stone are engraved the words of Scripture, " Why seek ye the living among the dead ? " I did not enter the cemetery ; Madame E^camier alone obtained permission to go into it. I remained seated on a bench outside and, turning away from France, fixed my gaze now on the summit of Mont Blanc, now on the lake of Geneva.
