What reading level is Gowrie, Or, the King's Plot book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
As to seeking quarrel with him, aquila non capit muscas. I now beseech your majesty to pardon me for retiring ;" and he withdrew slowly from the royal presence.
CHAPTER XXVII.
The whole court of Holyrood was now busied principally with one subject. It is the vice of all petty courts to have their whole attention taken up with petty quarrels and small passions, not the less venomous for their minuteness.
The Earl of Gowrie was not a favorite — that had become evident within one week after his re...turn from the continent ; and although he neither held nor coveted any place about the king's person, all those who were mounting the frail ladder of courtly favor, marked the coldness between the king and himself with satisfaction, and augured the fall of those members of his family who had obtained ap- pointments in the royal household. At all events, as far as he was personally concerned, Gowrie cut the matter very short, taking leave of the king within ten days after his arrival in Edinburgh, upon the plea of visiting his mother, and examining the condition of his own estates.
