What reading level is St. Cuthbert's book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
May the God of friendship bless thee, William Collin, for all thatthy friendship hath been to me! And if these lines outlive thee, letthem bear witness to that joy which is not denied to the humblest man, who hath but a fireplace and a friend and a pipe--and four feet on thefender, while the storm howls without. For, with alternate zeal, we castthe blocks upon the blaze--and its flame never faltered till thou wertgone.
William, as chairman, was the first to speak. He presented St. Cuthbert's ca...se with dignity and force, beginning with the tidings thatthe Board wished me henceforth to take two months' holidays instead ofone. This started in my mind a swift reflection upon the nativeperversity of the Scotch. To prove that they cannot do without you, theybanish you altogether for an extra month, but William Collin gave thething a more graceful turn: "We love you weel eneuch to do without you--but no' for lang, " he said.
Then he concluded, as was his inviolate custom, with a reference toBurns, in whom he had sat down and risen up for forty years: "I canna better close what I hae to say, " he assured me, "than by theuse o' the plowboy's words, slightly changed for the occasion: "'Better lo'ed ye canna be Will ye no' abide at hame?'" With this he reached behind him (this too, a time-honoured custom), seized the aforesaid caudal parts of his coat, removed them from thepath of descending danger, and lowered his stalwart form with easydignity, his kindly eyes aglow with friendship's light.
