What reading level is The Betrothed book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The murderer, by her blood at each blow gushing forth, Is bespattered with the blot of infamy ! . . .
Her unhappy children, Who, to protect her, had upon the monster rushed, By other tormentors are withheld.
The blasphemies of the cruel wretches, The cries of the victim, afar off spread dismay.
By terror visited.
No one dares to raise his eyes . . .
They repeat, trembling, smiling : * Good master ! good master !' . . .
O Lord ! canst Thou permit such iniquity ! . . .
On the assassin I leaped !
...In a moment at my feet a lifeless form he lay ; And before the astounded people, I freed the victim !
38 THE BETROTHED.
Then, under the emotions of such a horrid scene, On the reddened soil I fell exhausted.^ VI.
When at break of day my eyes to light reopened, Near my couch Amerie was on her knees praying !
The rays of the sun on the awakening fields Bestowed hope and life . . .
And I felt as though emerging from a dreadful dream.
' Thou hast greatly suffered,' said the kneeling angel ; And pressing her hand, my tears began to flow.
