What reading level is Quentin Durward 1 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
To this must be added, that the narrow round of his duties and his pleasures had gradually circumscribed his thoughts, hopes, and wishes, and quenched in a great measure the wild spirit of honour, and desire of distinction in arms, by which his youth had been once animated.
Balafr^ was, in short, a keen soldier, hardened, selfish, and narrow-minded ; active and bold in the discharge of his duty, but acknowledging few ob- jects beyond it, except the formal observance of a careless devotion, reli...eved by an occasional debauch Mrith brother Boniface, his comrade and confessor.
Had his genius been of a more extended character he would probably have been promoted to some important command, for the King, who knew every soldier of his body-guard personally, reposed much confidence in Balafr^'s courage and fidelity; and, besides, the Scot had either wisdom or cunning enough perfectly to understand, and ably to humour, the peculiarities of that sovereign. Still, however, his capacity was too much limited to admit of his rising to higher rank, and though smiled on and favoured by Louis on many occasions, Balafrd con- tinued a mere Life-guards-man, or Scottish Archer.
