To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
He and his son breakfasted at seven o'clock upon beer, cold meat, WestphaUa ham or neat's tongue, oatcakes, and white bread and butter. After breakfast the son, William, went to study at the Rectory with Dr. Gardiner, the rector, a learned Clergyman, formerly Proctor of Cambridge University and chaplain to the King. The squire rode with his steward to inspect the farms and attend to parochial or county business. At eleven o'clock the servants, headed by the housekeeper, Mrs. Heayes, filed in to... family prayers in the hall. The butler then laid the table, with its cloth of 'homespun linen, pewter plates and dishes, beer and wineglasses, silver salts and spoons, porringer and tankards, for the noonday dinner.
We can picture the old squire and his son seated at the board in the old hall, the butler serving them. The elder wore a long periwig scented with orange-fiower water ; he had a slight moustache and tuft of hair under his chin. A grey, broad-brimmed beaver hat lay by his side, and he had large bands of white linen or cambric, a dark grey clpth coat of simple cut, unbuttoned at the waist, and with wristbands turned baCk to sho^ the soft linen cuffs underneath, and sword-belt and sword, Cavalier breeches open at the knee, riding-tops of wrinkled buckskin, and square-toed shoes with high heels, and tongues to protect the instep from the stirrup.
