What reading level is The Spanish Jade book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
She never faltered, though she ran from scorn of him to deep scorn of herself, and appealed in turn to his pride, his pity, his honour, and his lust. She had no reticence, set no bounds: she was everything or nothing; he was a god, or dirt of the kennel. In the end — and what a climax! — she stopped in the middle of a sentence, covered her eyes, sobbed, gave a broken cry, turned, and fled away.
The man, left alone, spread his arms out and lifted his face to the sky, as if appealing for the comp...assion of Heaven.
Manvers could see by the light of a lamp which fell upon him that there were tears 140 THE SPANISH JADE in his eyes. He was pitying himself deeply. "Senor Jesu, have pity!" he heard him saying. "What could I do? Woe upon me, what could I do?" To him there, as he stood wavering, returned suddenly the girl. As swiftly as she had gone she came back, like a white squall. "Ah, son of a thief! Ah, son of a dog!" and she struck him down with a knife over the shoulder-blade. He gasped, groaned, and dropped; and she was upon his breast in a minute, moaning her pity and love.
