To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
We hastened to put on our furs and sprang into the sleighs with the least possible delay. There was no fear that we should lose the first and second set of horses, but the last one might be taken for the post as the ladies had only a third-class padaroshnia. The ycmshicks were as anxious to escape as ourselves, as the business of carrying the mail does not produce navodka. The post between Irkutsk and Kras- noyarsk passes twice a week each war, and we frequently encountered it. Where it had jus...t pasred a station there was occasionally a scarcity of horses that delayed us till village teams were brought. A postillion accompanies each convoy, and is responsible for its security. Travelers sometimes purchase tickets and have their veliicles accompany the post, but in so doing their patience is pretty severely taxed. The postillion is a soldier or other government employ^, and must be armed to repel robbers. One of these conductors was a boy of fourteen who appeared under heavy responsibility.
