To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The consul hadlittle chance to speak with her again, but he saw enough that evening toconvince him not only that Lord Algernon was very much in love withher, but that the fact had been equally and complacently accepted by thefamily and guests. That her present visit was only an opportunity for aformal engagement was clear to every woman in the house--not excepting, I fear, even the fair subject of gossip herself. Yet she seemed sounconcerned and self-contained that the consul wondered if she re...allycared for Lord Algernon. And having thus wondered, he came to theconclusion that it didn't much matter, for the happiness of sopractically organized a young lady, if she loved him or not.
It is highly probable that Miss Sadie Desborough had not even gone sofar as to ask herself that question. She awoke the next morning with asense of easy victory and calm satisfaction that had, however, none ofthe transports of affection. Her taste was satisfied by the love ofa handsome young fellow, --a typical Englishman, --who, if not exactlyoriginal or ideal, was, she felt, of an universally accepted, "hall-marked" standard, the legitimate outcome of a highly ordered, carefully guarded civilization, whose repose was the absence of struggleor ambition; a man whose regular features were not yet differentiatedfrom the rest of his class by any of those disturbing lines which peoplecall character.
