To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Should Miss Dobbin question the Letter, or wish to possess it, any morning that she appoints I will put it into the hand that wrote it. The happiness of its language, com- bined with other motives, induced me to take two copies of it, lest the original, or one of them, should be lost. And though on my own account, I have no cause to applaud it, my candour must acknowledge its admirable com- position. My friends are now in full possession of Miss Dobbin's talents as a Letter- writer. They will n...ot wonder therefore that I was delighted with herCorrespondence; nor will they be astonished at the excellence of the Letter they have just read; which, considering the difficulties she had to encounter, the embarrassment, the alarm, the distraction under which it was composed, is a happy eiTort of a disciplined and enlightened mind. Novels themselves do not often present situations so distressing or so discouraging. She is less however to be envied under the pres- sure of such accumulated difficulties, than admired for her address in getting out of them* €7 Bat she knew the power she had over me ; she knew that a Letter from herself would prove her best passport fro my favour; she knew I would never carry my resentment into her beloved bosom, fj he judged -me right; and though so vastly her inferior in the art of epistolary composition, my answer to her excellent Letter will, I trust, be found a proof that she was not deceived ia me.
