What reading level is Our Holiday in the East book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It was soon filled with the other members of the bareem, and a number of black slave-girls, who came to in- spect us, and stare wonderingly at us. After a while Ali Bey said be would fetch the gentlemen, and I was curious to know what would happen ; for Eastern women must never be seen. In a few moments we heard a loud clapping of hands ; it was Ali Bey's signal, and before be arrived with the rest of our party every woman and child had disappeared ; but as be led us round the court we saw them... laughing and peeping at us from behind doorways. A JEWISH HOUSE. 260 Nothing could oxceod the courtesy of Ali Boy throughout our visit, and he only parted with us at his outer door with many salaams and compli- mentary speeches. These beautiful old palaces show what Damas- cus must have been in its halcyon days. Now it is only a wreck of its former self, but even at the present time, in spite of dirt, ruin, and decay, there are beautiful bits of architecture and carv- ings peering out from among the houses and bazaars : old Moorish archways and doorways, lovely courtyards, and fountains, and ancient mosques, giving some idea of Oriental taste and magnificence in bygone ages.
