To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Oh! these horrid demons of Frenchmen know how to write. Even the most disgusting things they know how to describe poetically. I wish Zola could describe Haslemere with all the shops shut, rain falling, and most of the inhabitants in their cups. " She told me later--for we followed our Zola to _Lourdes_ and _Paris_--that some young Oxford prig saw _La Bête Humaine_ lying on the table at Charles Street, and remarked that Lady Dorothy could surely not be aware that that was "no book for a lady. " ...She said, "I told him it was just the book for me!" She read Disraeli's novels over again, from time to time, with a renewal of sentiment. "I am dedicating my leisure hours to _Endymion_. What a charm after the beef and mutton of ordinary novels!" She gradually developed a cult for Swinburne, whom she had once scorned; in her repentance after his death, she wrote: "I never hear enough about that genius Swinburne! My heart warms when I think of him and read his poems. " I think she was very much annoyed that he had never been a visitor at Charles Street.
