What reading level is Patchwork volume 2 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
F 98 cent carpet of the Gobelin manufacture, used to cover the floor of one of the principal rooms of the Tuileries. In their place had been substituted, of course, a set of fleur-de-lis, the ancient device of the Bourbon line. These held their places till the fierce lustre of the " glorieuses Journees " burnt up the lilies of Charles X. In France, that is to say, in Paris, which is France, just as Constantinople is Turkey, whatever the geography books may say to the contrary. As soon as the bu...stle of the " Revolu- tion of July " was well over, and the elder branch of the Bourbons expatriated, the fleur-de-lis, the ancient symbol of so much royal renown, was held in such abhorrence that the poor carpet was once more packed ofl" to the Gobelins, where I saw a party of workmen actually employed in taking out the lilies and substituting stars in their place. I could not help thinking that if these fellows only managed to loiter a little over their work, they might, in the revolutions of French politics, have a life-rent job out of this carpet ; since before they have well finished one end of it they may be called upon to unwind the other from the loom in order to substitute the rising sun of some new dynasty in the place of the star now in the ascendant, but which, like the bees of Buonaparte, may fly away in a moment, or be scattered to the winds like the unhappy lilies of Louis.
