What reading level is Old Times And New book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Parry told me of the time when he was engaged on the walls of the church. One day, mounted on his scaffold and clad in a linen jacket much besplashed with colours, he observed a visitor enter the build- ing and look round him superciliously, much as Canon Liddon has described a certain class of worshipper (?) who brings to the services of the Church the favour of his splendid patronage. Presently the painter addressed him, and expressed a hope that he was pleased with what he saw. " Oh ! the ch...urch is well enough, " was the reply, "but I'm a great deal more pleased to have seen you. " "Indeed, " rejoined Mr. Parry, "and may I ask why ? " " Why, " was the answer, " because I have heard that this Mr. Parry gives himself out as the artist, and now I have been and seen you doing it. " "As if, " our friend afterwards commented, " he expected to see me at work in a frock coat and kid gloves. " Before quitting the subject of the church, I will just add that the triumph of artistic genius is to be seen in the fact that things usually so hopelessly ugly are at Highnam features of beauty.
