To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
All suffer considerable pain, much of which is self-inflicted as a result of imprudent choices. Except for Madame Staubach, the third- stage widows are social adventuresses who must manage their doubtful social status in the teeth of unfavorable public opinion. Of the 184 five widows, only Madame Max Goesler succeeds in attaining what she wishes; this is in part because she is clever enough to be flexible and modest in her goals. While these widows are all aggressive, beneath their forcefulness... lurks an essentially passive inability to influence effectually other characters or social forces. Involvement in society not only fails to alleviate their fundamental emotional isolation, but also subjects these widows to sometimes hostile surveillance and to further pressures . The third-stage widows have some familial resemblance. Lady Ongar's and Lady Eustace's motives and situation are similar, but one is generous and honest while the other is a mean-spirited chronic liar. VJhere Madame Max is ob- viously clever, Lady Eustace only seems to be.
