What reading level is A Bachelor in Arcady book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The laughter of the rustic wooers was in our ears ; the old man turned upon his stick, after they had disappeared among the trees, and his face, so far as ex- pression of any sort was left it, was pitiful.
" It's just here," he said, very quietly. " God has forgotten me, sir. I'm old — too old by half — and God has forgotten to take me away." There was no denying it ; unlettered, rude, this man had, from the crucible of life, plucked out the burning words that in themselves were truth. God had ...forgotten him! Ay, poor waif ; he rested and was still, not as one enjoy- ing leisure, but as a fallen oak tree rests, wait- 96 Digitized by Google Cow-Speech and Other Languages ing for its bark to rot, its goodly timber to fall into dust, asking only that wind and weather, ants and beetles, and bark-loving conies shall quickly do their work. Well, surely, he shall ,die ; and in that surety is the only gladness one can find in thinking of the man who has lived too long.
