What reading level is Thackeray's Works 2 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The evil had broken out once or twice in the father's family, long before Lady Steyne's sins had begun, or her fasts and tears and penances had been offered in their expiation. The pride of the race was struck down as the first-bom of Pharaoh. The dark mark of fate and doom was on the threshold, — the tall old threshold surmounted by coronets and carved heraldry.
302 VANITY FAIB.
The absent lord's children meanwhile prattled and grew on quite unconscious that the doom was over them too. First t...hey talked of their father, and devised plans against his return. Then the name of the living dead man was less frequently in their mouth — then not mentioned at aU. But the stricken old grandmother trembled to think that these too were the inheritors of their father's shame as well as of his honors : and watched sickening for the day when the awful ancestral curse should come down on them.
This dark presentiment also haunted Lord Steyne.
He tried to lay the horrid bedside ghost in Bed Seas of wine and jollity, and lost sight of it sometimes in the crowd and rout of his pleasures.
