What reading level is The Painted Lady book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Lilyanne was not looking. How could she, with a half-naked man and a pink-negligee-clad woman practically embracing right in front of her? Not what it looks? Ha! What else could it be but an offer of marriage, and an acceptance, after the fact. The fact being that they were en dishabille, in the middle of the night, in Caswell’s room, in Lilyanne’s home. Decent, respectable people lived here, but these two had not even respected Lilyanne and her uncle enough to use the stables! Or they could not... wait long enough.
Of course it could not be a true marriage, since the lady was otherwise bespoken—and now Lilyanne understood why Lord Edgecombe spoke so poorly of Catherine. At least now Uncle Osgood would see that the debauched duke could not stay under their roof. What if Lisbet were home? What if one of the young maids had come upstairs with hot water? No gentle female should witness such wantonness. Lilyanne was more than sorry she had. She turned to leave.
“Wait!” Kasey called, grabbing Miss Bannister’s hand to keep her from leaving.
