What reading level is On the Track of the Mail-Coach; Being a volume of Reminiscences Personal And Otherwise book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In a word, the eight p.m. coach at its best arrived at 5.30 'a.m. ; whereas the 8.50 mail-train from Nine Elms got in at seventeen minutes past midnight.
Perhaps I may as well contrast the up-service. The mail-coach started from Southampton, driving through that splendid avenue of trees on the London Eoad, which is still in full vigour (though some of the giants have gone), at 9.18 p.m., darkness, however, shroud- ing the view, and got to St. Martin's-le-Grand about 6.22 next morning ; the trai...n left at 1.15 a.m., and reached Nine Elms at 4.25.
The Dolphin in the High Street, which preserves to this day all that is best of the quaint, cosy, old- fashioned character which I had remarked in it forty years ago, was the head and front of the coaching and posting business. It also provided for part of the mail service. But the Coach and Horses, Above Bar, now a music-hall; the George, just above Bar Gate ; and the Star, in the High Street — all of which exist — had also a share. In its day the Dolphin, at election times, has had its windows handsomely Digitized by VjOOQIC 102 ON THE TRACK OF THE MAIL-COACH smashed by the rival faction for housing politicians of the wrong colour.* The openiQg of the docks and rail, however, were the turning-point of postal prosperity.
