What reading level is The Pursuit book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
He lay a prisoner at her feet. If he had been free, if his arms had been about her, if he had used his man's strength and mastery to take and hold her, if opportunity had not mocked him, would he have won? Fate knows, but fate was smiling then. And the history of man and maid from all ages is with us. Yes, he would have won; he would have won.
She gave a tiny gasp, and then the fugitive instinct, the primeval resort to flight, was upon her. She sent oppor- tunity packing with her reply.
"I am h...ere, by my own choice, with you — alone," she reminded him. "A liberty may become a question of — circumstance." He flushed hotly, and again remorse gripped her as she saw the haggard lines draw in about his eyes.
"I can only ask your pardon," he answered. "I ask it, humbly and contritely." He gave a wry little smile.
"And perhaps circumstance is to blame, after all." Opportunity halted in her flight, hesitated, gave a returning step towards beckoning remorse. There was a shuffling sound at the door of the lazaret, and oppor- tunity wheeled and fled.
