What reading level is An Old Maid book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
"Madame la Vicomtesse de Troisville, " she said to herself; "a noblename! Our property will go to a good family, at any rate. " She fell a prey to an irritation which made every fibre of her nervesquiver to all their papillae, long sunk in flesh. Her blood, lashed bythis new hope, was in motion. She felt the strength to converse, ifnecessary, with Monsieur de Troisville. It is useless to relate the activity with which Josette, Jacquelin, Mariette, Moreau, and his agents went about their functio...ns. It waslike the busyness of ants about their eggs. All that daily care hadalready rendered neat and clean was again gone over and brushed andrubbed and scrubbed. The china of ceremony saw the light; the damasklinen marked "A, B, C" was drawn from depths where it lay under atriple guard of wrappings, still further defended by formidable linesof pins. Above all, Mademoiselle Cormon sacrificed on the altar of herhopes three bottles of the famous liqueurs of Madame Amphoux, the mostillustrious of all the distillers of the tropics, --a name very dear togourmets.
