To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
I am not in the habit of talking about myself, either: but I feel reminiscent to-night. I am probably about your age, thirty-eight though you look a good deal younger than I ; but from what you've let fall now and then, I infer that you are older than you look. " " I was born in 'twenty-five, " I said.
" Indeed ? Well, that's my birth-year, too. I am the youngest son of a well-to-do family, with an en- tailed estate; and so I was destined from my birth for the church. Absurd, isn't it, to mark ...out a child's ca- reer before he has shown any aptitude for it. To be sure, it doesn't require any degree of intelligence to suc- ceed in the ministry. It is the one calling par excel- lence in which a very mediocre person can make a fine show in life. The whole outfit is purely conventional.
