What reading level is Leaves book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
If I had not interfered, that 114 A POLITICAL NIGHTMARE wretched bell would have prevented the marriage, and Lucy would now be hus- band-hunting in India instead of giving dehghtful parties on the Terrace.
The other night, after a more than usually pleasant dinner at the House, I had the most appalling nightmare. I actually dreamed that I arrived as usual, to be informed by a surly official that no ladies were admitted, except to a new gallery where those really interested could listen to the d...ebates. He was most insulting, for he laid stress on the words " really interested, " as if I had not always my husband's political career at heart. He also informed me that this new gallery had a special entrance, leading only to it, and that ladies were not admitted to any other part of the House during a sitting on any pretence whatever.
" But I want to find my husband and arrange for a large tea-party I am giving to-morrow, " I said.
" Parties are not allowed, madam, " he answered gruffly.
115 LEAVES Then I somehow found myself on the Terrace, and it seemed to be five o'clock, but instead of the gay social scene there were only members sitting at the tables annotating Blue-books or stroUing about discussing politics, of all things in the world on the Terrace of the House of Commons !
