To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Around the tents a dense and some- what turbulent pack of (chiefly agricultural) human beings swayed and moved uneasily about, pushing and jostling each other aside. Mixed up not thinly with this surging, seething, motley, living mass of rural bipeds, were blue - coated policemen and militiamen, red-coated yeomen, villainous " cheap Johns" and roily -polly men, ragged and dirty vendors of toys and knick-knacks, Jack-in-the- box shooters, weighing-machine men, street ballad singers, pipers and f...iddlers, card-sharpers and thiinble- riggers all shouting, arguing, coaxing, cajoling, swearing, blowing, and playing at once. The din and confusion were distracting, one would think, and yet the people seemed to enjoy it. When this buzzing, tossing, tumultuous hive had reached a crisis, a buggle suddenly sounded a shrill and clear " rat-a-too ! rat-a- too ! '' and away instantly over the sands the vast swarm hurried pell-mell to the race-course, some three hundred yards distant. The " course " was the middle portion of the sea-beach between the bents and the now inflowing ocean running for a mile in a north-westerly direction towards Tynemouth and 160 RURAL RHYMES AND SKETCHES.
