What reading level is The American in Paris book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
You see them wherever suffering humanity needs their assistance ; their devotion has no parallel in the history of the world. They are very often, too, of rich and distinguished families; women who leave all the enjoyments of gay society to pursue these humble and laborious duties, to practise, in these silent walls, pru- dence, patience, fortitude, and all those domestic virtues and peaceful moralities which, in this naughty world of ours, obtain neither admira- tion nor distinction. Think onl...y of relinquish- ing fashion, and rank, and pleasure, to be granny to an almshouse !
This hospital was founded by one of the most respectable saints of all Paris, Vincent de Paul.
VINCENT DE PAUL. 289 His statue is placed in the vestibule. It would do your heart good to see the babies go down on their bits of knees every evening, and bless the memory of this saint. A cradle used to be hung up as a sign to draw customers here, but the reputation of the house is now made, and it is taken down. Formerly the ringing of a bell, too, or the wailings of the infant, the mother giving it a pinch, was enough to announce a new comer, but lately so many dead children have been put in the box to avoid j;he expense of burying them that they have been obliged to stop up the hole.
