To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
I get quite familiar with all the pleasant rides near London, and can tell you of such parks, such old houses, and such delicious landscapes, as would make you pant like the. Hart in the wilder- ness to be my partner in my peregrinations. . . . " London continues as gay, if not gayer (in spite of the King's illness * and rainy weather). . . . " You are mistaken if you suppose my silence arose from pique. Silence is not my mode of showing resent- ment : I am a master of fence, and prefer the ass...ault ; and had I really considered myself aggrieved, should have rung a peal loud enough to set the welkin in a roar. . . . I certainly have been surprised that you and Sudlow should never by any chance have sent me any business, and I may have damned you both as a couple of shabby fellows — yourself in particular ; but this was your own concern, and if you could not do it, or would not, which is much the same, why, there's an end of the matter. But, I repeat, I have not felt offended. " The good-natured optimism of the above philosophy accounts for the dwindling business in Grafton Street, which, indeed, after 1830, was not seriously attended to.
