What reading level is The Real Lord Northcliffe Some Personal Recollections of a Private Secretary book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Amongst ourselves we talked of him as " Alfred, " or " Alfred the Great. " He had a natural dignity of which nobody, however friendly he became, could take advantage. I remember, though, one youthful member failing to understand this. Lord Northcliffe invited him to his country house, and during his visit called him by his Christian name, which was rather a favourite habit of his. His young guest, forgetting his position, addressed his Chief not only personally, but in writing, as " My dear Alf...red. " It did not surprise me that his career on our staff was short.
He addressed all our sex as : " My dear ! " an elastic term which may mean so much or so little ! Whether we were married or single, young or old, made no difference. I chaffed him once : " You play for safety, and so avoid confusion among your lady friends. " To which he laughingly agreed.
" Ah, my dear, you don't know them as I do ; I have to be careful, " and truthfully I did not.
It was a never-ending surprise to me how persistent some women were in their efforts to make his acquaintance, or improve the friendship already begun.
