What reading level is The Old Maid, And Other Stories book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
There he stood fixed amidst them, surprised and embarrassed, not under- standing what they were going to do with him. But the lad who had brought the news, puffed up with the success he had met with already, demanded: 11 How do you name yourself, you? " He answered: "Simon." "Simon what?" retorted the other.
The child, altogether bewildered, repeated : " Si- mon." The lad shouted at him : " One is named Simon some- thing . . . that is not a name . . . Simon indeed." And he, on the brink of tear...s, replied for the third time: " I am named Simon." The urchins fell a-laughing. The lad triumphantly lifted up his voice: "You can see plainly that he has no papa." A deep silence ensued. The children were dumb- founded by this extraordinary, impossible monstrous thing — a boy who had not a papa ; they looked upon him as a phenomenon, an unnatural being, and they felt that contempt, until then inexplicable, of their mothers for La Blanchotte grow upon them. As for Simon, he had propped himself against a tree to avoid falling SIMON'S PAPA 227 and he remained as though struck to the earth by an irreparable disaster.
