To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
" Mademoiselle Lind was indisposed to quit Vienna, still putting forward her fears of Mr. Bunn as the cause of her reluctance." The mission seemed in danger of failure, and the fortunes of Her Majesty's Theatre mainly depending at this crisis on the appearance of the Swedish Nightingale, I became more and more uneasy. " Start yourself for Vienna, and endeavour to decide this wayward girl on accompanying you back to England," was the advice of the friendly intermediary. Inconvenient to the last ...degree as it was to quit the direction of the theatre even for a day, I saw the force of this advice — feeling that a juncture had arrived wherein personal energy could alone prevail. On the next night, at the opera, I entered (in evening costume of course) the box of my lady adviser. It was about ten o'clock. " I come," I said, " to bid you farewell. I have resolved to make the journey to Vienna. Pray say not a word to any one. In half an hour I shall be on my road." In this perplexing state matters remained, when, the theatre having closed for the recess, the time arrived for its reopening for the season after Easter.
