To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
" exclaimed the unhappy man, sinking back into the chair from which he had risen, and burying his face in his hands, " My brother ! my brother ! God, Thy hand is laid heavy upon me and mine ! " His sad errand thus done, the mate discreetly withdrew, leaving Sir Eichard and Mr Wilson alone together.
The cashier felt inexpressibly shocked and grieved at this fearful news, which had thus come overwhelming and crushing upon him and the bereaved brother with- out the least note of preparation even. ...At first he stood like one j)etrified, and as if unable to realize the immensity of the loss he had suffered : for Louis was dearer to him almost than a son.
Then looking at Sir Eichard, who, tho- roughly overcome with the acuteness of his grief, was heaving with choking emo- THE OLD LEDGER. 233 tion, and conyulsively trembling in every limb, a momentary impulse came over him to endeavour to soothe and console this grief, still deeper and more hallowed than his own. But he was of too stern a mould to give way to this impulse just then, and his face hardened, and a bitter, vengeful feeling came over him instead, as he thought that this might merely be a bIiow of grief, assumed to hide, perchance, the guilty gladness, the vile inward exultation of this most unbrotherly brother, who had thus craftily speculated and remorseless- ly schemed — but too successfully, alas!
