What reading level is Saint Simon book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The princes and the suite of all the noblemen and people of the Court were with the army. Every one at Versailles felt the danger of their friends and kinsmen ; and the oldest established families saw their fortunes in sus- pense. For forty hours prayers were offered everywhere ; the Duchess of Burgundy passed the night in the chapel, while people believed her in bed, and distracted her ladies by her vigils ; and, following her example, all the wives who had husbands in the army never stirred f...rom the churches.
Games, and even conversation, had ceased. Fear was paint- ed on every countenance and in every speech in a shameful manner. If a horse passed by a little quickly, every one rushed to the windows without knowing why. Chamillart's rooms were crowded with lackeys, even to the street door, for every one wished to be informed the moment a courier arrived ; and this agonising suspense lasted a month, until a battle put an end to our uncertainty. Paris, being further from the source of news, was still more troubled, and the provinces to an even greater extent.
