To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The fact was, that the Monk had pro- vided himself with the powder-flask and other articles of the gossip's husband, who was a great poacher. In the chapel he took down the shrine of the saint, tied a rope round its neck, and covering it from the shoulders with a long cloke, he thus imposed on the gaping credulity of the fanatic mob, who, so far now from delivering up the holy Monk, accounted it an honour that five of their body should be in custody for his sake. Mystere, having give)^ them all... his blessing and absolution ibrwhat they 'were do- ing, was conveyed to the opposite shore; and there wiih a lantern in his hand entered a deep forest which had leen pointed out to him. From the snow that lay on the ground, and the feeble light of his lantern, he soon lost his track, and re-measured his way back to the river side. On the opposite bank he perceived lights moving, and horsemen running to and fro ; several boats too were rowing towards the spot where he stood: this bustle was no mystery to him; and therefore, throwing his lantern into the stream, he em- bosomed himself again in the forest, walked till spent with fatigue, and at length concealed himself in the cavity of a hollow bank.
