To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
His expecta- tions were disappointed. His entry into the town was marked by no more outward display than if he had been the most private of individuals. No escort of troops attended upon him, no Cardinals came in their carriages to greet him, the Pope sent no representative to receive him at the City gates, he was met by his brother alone, and drove with him to his palace. As had been the reception, so was the after-treatment. The Prince was simply regarded — save by a few Irish parasites of hi...s father's Court — as the brother of Cardinal York, and treated with no higher honours than were accorded to the Roman aristocracy around him. Deeply chagrined at this want of loyalty to his house, he shut himself up within his palace, and showed his pique by giving out that he only wanted to be recognised as plain John Douglas, ' with a view, it is supposed,' writes Mann, ' of exempting himself from all ceremony with regard to the Pope and the College of Cardinals, with whom he is most extremely dissatisfied.' Once more Cardinal York tried to persuade the Pope to reconsider his decision, but his Holi- ness, we learn, was so indignant at the repetition of the request ±hat he turned on his heel and vouchsafed no answer.
