What reading level is San Francisco And Thereabout book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Now and then a man would come with a covered pewter dish of food which he was bearing from the restaurant to some one within, or a waiter would pass, balancing a tray on his head with a whole meal in pewter pots. The narrow street was aglow with solid rows of lanterns suspended from both the lower and the upper balconies. At the end of the alley stood a gaudy booth decorated with flowers, in- scriptions and \)anners. A band of musicians, lav* ishly dressed in colored silks, dispensed wild music...; banging drums and clashing cymbals broke in upon the strange cadences of shrill pipes and squeaky fiddles.
Around the corner of the alley was a great screen painted with three immense figures of josses, fiercely grotesque. Before them a table spread with rare altar cloths richly embroidered was loaded with confections and flowers. Candles and incense burned before the shrine. Four priests in vivid scarlet robes with gold embroidered squares on their backs, and elaborately embroidered trimmings of white and silver in front, their heads covered with stiff black caps surmounted by large gold knots, faced the tables and bowed in stately fashion to the tune of the strenuous music.
