To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In the first place, it inclines each Frenchman to ex- claim, with Lady Teazle, "I won't be suspected with- out cause ;" and, secondly, it suggests that "suspicion always haunts the guilty breast." There are many reasons why our neighbours have more reason to fear a Channel Tunnel than we have. England has twice taken and long held French towns — Calais and Dunkirk to wit — ^while France has never owned a foot of English soil since the Conquest. Talk of "imexpected flotillas," capable of throwin...g masses of armed men upon a defenceless coast; and what resources have the French for such an attempt as compared with ourselves ? A sudden descent of Englishmen thrown ashore upon the sandy dunes near Calais would be far more likely to succeed by reason of our immense superiority at sea, than a similar enterprise undertaken by Frenchmen. Yet no word of panic has ever been spoken against the Channel Tunnel by the quick-sighted nation, which must naturally feel that one of the inevitable results of its construction will be to enable England to act on the Continent as a land power.
