To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Madman he is, at times, I think. But sane for the most part, and with some touches of a wisdom beyond the wisdom of men. The guise of mad- ness he wears always ; and the Indians, as well as our own people, reverence him mightily. It is nigh upon three years since he first appeared in Acadie. He hates the Black Abbe, — who, they say, once did him some great mischief in some other land than this, — and his strange ravings, his prodigious prophesyings, do something here and there to weaken the Abb...e's influence with our people." "Then how does he evade the good father's wrath ? " I questioned, in wonder. "Oh," said Marc, "the good father hates him cordially enough. But the Digitized by Google Grul 8 1 Indians could not be persuaded, or bullied, or bribed, to lift a hand against him. They say a Manitou dwells in him." " Maybe they're not far wrong ! " grunted Tamin. And now I, like Tamin, found it pru- dent to spare my wind. But Marc, whose lungs seemed untiring, spoke from time to time as he went, and told me certain inci- dents, now of Grill's acuteness, now of his gift of prophecy, now of his fantastic mad- ness.
