What reading level is A Modern Idyll book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Most men, he knew, didnot think her more than pretty; "pretty Mrs. Hooper" was what she wasusually called--nothing more. No one ever dreamed of saying she wasbeautiful or fascinating. No; she was pretty, and that was all. He wasthe only person in Kansas City or perhaps in the world to whom she wasaltogether and perfectly desirable. She had no reason to be so conceitedor to presume on her power over him. If she were the wonder she thoughtherself she would surely have married some one better than... old Hooper, with his lank figure, grey hairs, and Yankee twang. He took a pleasurein thus depreciating the woman he loved--it gave his anger vent, andseemed to make her acquisition more probable. When the uselessness ofthe procedure became manifest to him, he found that his doubts of heraffection had crystallized.
This was the dilemma; she had not written either out of coquetry orbecause she did not really care for him. If the former were the truereason, she was cruel; if the latter, she ought to tell him so at once, and he would try to master himself.
