What reading level is The Quest of Alistair book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
We were afraid it might be serious but the doctor says not. " Ted did not speak for a few moments but lay with his eyes cast down and his fingers picking nervously at the coverlet. When he did, at last, his voice was hoarse and he seemed to form his words with difficulty. His mind could scarcely credit what he heard ; but somehow in his heart he was convinced that Alistair spoke the truth. A new flood of humiliation was borne in upon him. It was bad enough to think of the mean figure he himself... had cut al- though then the liquor he had taken was some excuse ; but that Olney should have been bested, and that, too, while he was attempting foul play, perhaps — it was a terrible blow.
"You seem to call our bluff every time, don't you?" and there was the bitterness of defeat in his tone. "You hold all the cards and we don't have a look-in. " Poker terms were somewhat strange to Alistair but he readily gathered the drift of Ted's meaning.
"Maybe it looks like it, Ted. As a matter of fact, I don't know but what you may hold the joker in this game ; and unless we play as partners, I'm in danger of losing my stakes.
