What reading level is A Civil Servant in Burma book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Mind6n Min (1852-1878).
11. Thebaw Min (1878-1885).
108 A CIVIL SERVANT IN BURMA event in its history, will doubtless remain as long as the British flag flies over Mandalay.
The first report of the King's surrender reached Rangoon in a non-official telegram. By luck or good management we were enabled to telegraph the tidings simultaneously to the Secretary of State, and to save his Lordship from the shock of receiving the first intimation of the fall of Mandalay from his morning paper. Of cours...e, the telegraph line was interrupted. This message came from Tha-yet-m^o, brought thither by the King's steamer.
As the junior officer in the Secretariat, I was told off to board the Thooreah on her arrival. I was thus the first officer in Rangoon to see the ex-King and his Queens. King Thebaw was in appearance a Burman of very ordinary type. He looked neither dissipated nor cruel ; nor did he show any emotion or feeling of his melancholy position. His somewhat heavy features were unmistakably those of the House of Alaungpaya.
