What reading level is Worldly Ways And Byways book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Every restaurant advertises"afternoon tea" and Bass's ale, and every other sign bears a London name. This little matter of tea is particularly characteristic of the way theEnglish have imposed a taste of their own on a rebellious nation. Nothingis further from the French taste than tea-drinking, and yet a Parisianlady will now invite you gravely to "five o'clocker" with her, although Ican remember when that beverage was abhorred by the French as a medicine;if you had asked a Frenchman to take a... cup of tea, he would haveanswered: "Why? I am not ill!" Even Paris (that supreme and undisputed arbiter of taste) has submittedto English influence; tailor-made dresses and low-heeled shoes havebecome as "good form" in France as in London. The last two Presidents ofthe French Republic have taken the oath of office dressed in frock-coatsinstead of the dress clothes to which French officials formerly clung asto the sacraments.
The municipalities of the little Southern cities were quick to seizetheir golden opportunity, and everything was done to detain the richEnglish wandering down towards Italy.
