To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
On the whole, too, he seems to have been as affable as could reasonably have been 33^ Rousseau and the Women he Loved expected with the hero-worshippers. He did indeed contrive a way of escape from them — along a balcony, down a back staircase, through a barn, and out through a back door — but he did not avail himself of it very often. As a rule he let the strangers talk, going on with his lace-making or his game of cup-and-ball the while. Sometimes, if he liked the look of them, he invited the...m inside and offered them refreshment. No doubt he had moods, more often than he admits in the Confessions, when such interruptions to the con- templative life were not unwelcome. For, after all, — the point is important to the picture, — he had, except at moments of spasmodic activity, nothing particular to do. The picture given in the Confessions is well known, but cannot be trusted without reserve. The exile, according to Jean-Jacques, is "the beginning of the darkness in which I have for the last eight years been entombed " ; but the darkness was rather in his mind at the time when he wrote than in his life at the time which he depicted.
