To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Meanwhile the bird hopped upon the window-sill and stood as if preparing its wings for a flight. Then the priest beat with his foot upon the floor, for he could no longer battle. In a moment the lady glided in, and seemed as though scared to find the scene of so fierce an en- counter so still and quiet. She would have spoken, but the priest signed her to be silent, and pointed to the boy and to the bird ; and then she partly understood. So they stood in silence, but the priest's brain grew more... numb ; though he was aware of a creeping blackness that seemed to over- shadow the bird, in the midst of which glared two bright eyes. So with a sudden effort he signed the cross, and said " In Nomine " again ; and at the same moment the lady held out her hand ; and the priest sank down on the floor ; but he saw the bird raise its wings for a flight, and just as the dark thing rose, and, as it were, struck open- mouthed, the bird sailed softly through the air, alighted on the lady's hand, and then with a light flutter of wings on to the bed and to the boy's face, and was seen no more ; at the same moment the bells stopped in the church and left a sweet silence.
