What reading level is Indiscreet Letters From Peking Being the Notes of An Eye Witness Which Set for book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
" A vast commotion was created, as you may judge, when this news circulated among the refugee Ministers and all the heterogeneous crowd who have been behaving so strangely since the serious business began. Not one of us had relished the idea of being massacred after the manner of the Indian Mutiny, but there are different ways of behaving under such perils; some of those we had witnessed would not bear relating.
In a very short time, indeed, a suitable reply had been written briefly in Chinese ...on another board, but the finding of a messenger was more difficult. We must send a proper man. A Chinaman was at length dis- covered, who, after having been invested with the cus- tomary official hat and the long official coat, was per- suaded to advance towards the bridge bearing our message and piteously waving a white flag to show that he likewise was a harbinger of peace. The man progressed but slowly towards the Imperial bridge, and twice he gave unmistakable signs of wishing to bolt; but urged on by cries and a frantic waving, he at last reached the parapet on which leaned our enemy's placard.
