To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
After a few minutes I saw a warder whom I knew (the one in charge of the grating was a stranger to me), and called out to him imploringly. " Placot, Placot," I cried, " I am very unhappy ! I have not seen my aunt for eight whole days, because I have been ill, and I am still too weak to wait in the file till my turn comes to get in. Must I go away without seeing my aunt?" I had scarcely finished speaking when he caught hold of me and placed me in front of him, almost in his arms, and advancing b...etween the wall and the people waiting, he put me down close beside the grating. " Here ! " he said to his comrade in charge, " look at this little citizeness, how thin and puny and weak she is ; she cannot wait like the others. You might let her pass in to see her aunt." The gate opened a few inches, I made myself thinner than ever, and slipped through joyfully, running on at once so as to lose no more of my precious minutes with my aunt. One must have known what it is to lA'ait at a prison gate, knocked about, abused, ill-treated, and too often sent away in the end, to realise the joy of success ; and then the delight my arrival gave to my aunt repaid me in full for all the troubles that beset my coming.
