To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
period officially appointed for general mourning and sorrow is to be relieved of a portion of its gloom by Charles X. 's public entry into his cap- ital, with as much royal state and as many old- world ways as attended his predecessor out of it. Not a vestige of mourning is now visible at the Tuileries. The black velvet draperies have all disappeared, yielding place to royal purple, crimson, and gold — richness and brilliancy reign- ing throughout. Lavender and pastils have been unstintingly bu...rned, and every apartment, small and large, is redolent of perfume, from the bottom to the top of the Chateau, which now is ready to receive its new master. Every house along the streets through which the pageant is to pass is gaily decked with tapestry, or what does duty for it ; while every flower the lateness of the floral season affords is there, waving in loops, wreathing in the bal- conies, or formed into devices of welcome to the King, with ' Vive notre Roi ! ' ' Vive Charles Dix ! ' A stranger would have said, ' Surely this monarch lives in the hearts of his people/ Perhaps he did, as long as the pageant was passing and the streets were thronged, the wea- ther fine, and all around gaiety and animation.
