What reading level is A Century of Scottish Proverbs And Sayings in Prose And Rhyme Current in Fife book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
No Country or County can well exist without a centre, in which men from different parts have a common meeting-place, from which intelli- gence comes and goes, and in which authority has its seat. It need not be the richest or the busiest place. It is often difficult to decide between rival claims. It is well when it is settled, as in Fife, by a proverb.
Cupar has a place in another proverb, which recalls one of the chief industries of Fife " Auchtermuchty, Auchtermuchty, payment by piece. Cupar... o' Fife, Cupar o' Fife, payment by time" When did this saying originate? Possibly when the handloom was being superseded by the power- loom, and Auchtermuchty stuck to the old style, BLEBO AND SPRINGFIELD 19 while Cupar began to adopt the new ; or was Cupar in advance of the times, paying even its handloom weavers by the day? If the weavers of Auchter- muchty worked slowly, and on that account turned out perhaps all the better webs, its herds had an opposite character, for it was said of them " Hindmest awd and first hame, like the herds of Auchtermuchty" The binders of Blebo had a similar bad character for dilatoriness, which is preserved in the saying " As far behind as the Bandsters of Blebo" who were often out of sight of the shearers.
