To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Still no will made its appearance, and Colonel Mannering began full well to hope that the settlement which he had obtained from Glossin contained the ulti- mate arrangement of the old lady's affairs. But his friend Pleydell, who now came into the room, cautioned him against entertaining this belief. " 1 am well acquainted with the gentleman," he said, " who is conducting the search, and I guess from his man- ner that he knows something more of the matter than any of us." Meantime, while the sea...rch proceeds, let us take a brief glance at one or two of the company, who seem most interested. Of Dinmont, who, with his large hunting- whip under his arm, stood poking his great round face over the shoulder of the homme cT affaires, it is unneces- sary to say anything. That thin-looking oldi^ person, in a most correct and gentleman-like suit of mourning, is Mac-Casquii, formerly of Drumquag, who was ruined by having a legacy bequeathed to him of two shares in the Ayr bank. His hopes on the present occasion are founded on a very distant relationship, upon his sitting in the same pew with the deceased every Sunday, and upon his playing at cribbage with her regularly on the Satur- day evenings — taking great care never to come off a winner.
