To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
What can I desire ? Is not my fate fixed ? . . . I beg of you, take no action that I might disapprove. I know that you love me, and that might mislead you ; but truly, I am not personally too much to be pitied. I have suffered so much in the midst of greatness ; I may perhaps be about to know tranquillity, and to find it preferable to all the restless brilliance that surrounded me. . . . My brother will be happy ; my mother will retain the enjoyment of her country and her possessions. As for me..., I shall go to a distance with my children ; and life and fortune being assured to those I love, I can always bear misfortune affecting only my manner of living and not my heart. I am still troubled as to the fate awaiting the Emperor Napoleon and his family. . . . Had I not come to be near my mother, I am sure that I could not have left them in these unhappy times. Ah ! I hope that my children will not again be demanded from me — it is then that my courage would fail. . . . They are well — that is happiness for me.
