To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
At that moment something occurred to divert his attention, and he failed to explain the circumstances. In his boyhood, when about to visit friends at Thetford, a marketman who had been to the city, and was on his return, stopped at his father's house, and a passage for the lad was engaged. In accordance with the custom of the times, the food was probably taken (sometimes, in winter, 'bean-porridge, ' frozen, with a cord in it, and hiing upon the load), demanding only lodg- ing for the driver, &...c. The night was spent at Concord. The marketman arrived before night : but, as there was no convenient place to stop north of Concord, where the night would overtake him if he drove on, he decided to spend the night there; which gave the young Peabody some little time to look about. He soon made the ac- quaintance of a boy of about his own age ; and, being pas- sionately fond of fishing, he asked his new friend to go with him. But the boy, who was connected with the hotel, informed him that he had a stint, or ' stent ' as it was generally pronounced, and that he could not go until his task was performed.
