To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
There was, indeed, no case against Theresa. The only intrigues she had indulged in were amorous ones, and her only compromising letters were love billets. They were shown to her lover. In them he read the proofs of her lightness and infidelity; a mortal blow to the unsuspecting Tallien. Yet even that rude awakening could not cure a passion that had root in his very soul. His destiny was to love Theresa with an adoration so absolute that nothing could change it. This passion was to cease only wi...th his life. Surely, coarse, ill-bred, brutal as the man was, he had in him something that we must admire. It is not given to all mortals to be 112 SHADOWS OF OLD PARIS capable of such a stupendous passion. It lent to Tallien's soul an element of greatness, and a power of suffering that forces our sympathy. We grow to pity, even, the instigator of the massacres of September, the tyrant of Bordeaux, the per- petrator of a hundred acts of fanatical violence. To enable him to catch a glimpse of the woman he loved, Tallien managed to hire a garret near the prison, whence he could watch the prisoners during their short daily exercise.
