What reading level is Gossip in a Library book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In 1690 Hopkins's father, the Bishop, had died. We may conjecture that Lady Araminta took charge of the boy, and that his home, in vacation time, Was with her in Dublin or London.
He writes like a youth who has always been 142 Gossip in a Library petted ; the frou-frou of fine ladies' petticoats is heard in all his verses. But he had no fortune and no prospects ; he was utterly, he confesses, without ambition. The stern papa of Amasia had no notion of bestowing her on the penniless Sylvius, and... when the latter began to court her in earnest, she rebuffed him. She tore up his love-letters, she teased him by sending her black page to the window when he was ogling for her in the street below, she told him he was too young for her, and although she had no objection to his addressing verses to her, she gave him no serious encouragement. She was to be married, he hints, to some one of her own rank— some rich " country booby." At last, early in 1698, in company with the Duchess of Grafton, and possibly on the occasion of the second marriage of the latter, Amasia was taken off to France, and Hopkins never saw her again.
