To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
When it is stated that, throughout the town of Galway, you cannot get a cigar which costs more than twopence, Londoners may imagine the strangeness and remoteness of the place. The rain poured down for two days after our arrival at " Kilroy's Hotel." An umbrella under such circumstances is a poor resource : self-contemplation is far more amusing ; especially smoking, and a game at cards, if any one will be so good as to play.
But there was no one in the hotel coffee-room who was inclined for th...e sport. The company there, on the day of our arrival, con- sisted of two coach-passengers, — a Frenchman who came from Sligo, and ordered mutton-chops and f raid potatoes for dinner by himself, a turbot which cost two shillings, and in Billingsgate would have been worth a guinea, and a couple of native or inhabitant bachelors, who frequented the tabk-d' hote.
By the way, besides these tjiere were at dinner two turkeys (so that Mr. Kilroy's two-shilling ordinary was by no means ill supplied) ; and, as a stranger, I had the honour of carving these animals, which were dispensed in rather a singular way.
