To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Having no son, he cut out his daughters, and settled it on brothers and brothers' sons in succession ; the ironic sequel was that the property, coming to his youngest brother's son, was left by him to his only sister, who in her turn bequeathed it to the widower of her only daughter, who had left no children. Thus, in little more than half a century, house and heirlooms passed completely out of the family. A little later it came into the possession of a Canon Bowles, whose wife was a descendant... of Oliver Cromwell, and was exceedingly proud of the fact ! Dr Johnson visited this couple at Heale in 1783 when he was full of infirmities, in the hope that the air of the Plain might do him good. Boswell and his notebook did not accompany him, so there is no record of the utterances of the Sage on this occasion. The secret chamber in which Charles was hidden still exists, we believe, but the exterior of the house, as it is now, dates from about 1 700 ; it is a charming example of that period.
