To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
When the feast of Mohurrum came on and there was trouble with the Hindus, Wali Dad looked out upon the turmoil and emitted a few epigrams. The fight grew somewhat serious. Then, says Kipling of Wali Dad: His nostrils were distended, his eyes were fixed, and he was smit ing himself softly on the breast The crowd poured by with renewed riot — a gang of Musahnans hard-pressed by some hundred Hindu fanatics. Wali Dad left my side with an oath, and, shouting: '* Ya HasanI Ya HuasainI ** plunged into... the thick of the fight, where I lost sight of him. Professor Wendell is the Wali Dad of Boston. He can discourse in an unemotional yet piquant way of English literature and other literatures ; but when something really stirs him and he wishes to give it the highest praise that he can think of^ he tells us that here is a note to which Boston hearts will vi- brate so long as Boston hearts are beating! There are many other Wali Dads in Boston, not all of them of such high degree ; yet they are quite as faithful to the Boston standard of comparison.
