What reading level is Backsheesh a Womans Wanderings book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The city was in gala attire. Great wreaths of flowers and vines trailed over doorways, and the Star and Crescent showed everywhere. We saw the Khedive drive by our hotel, and much of Oriental grandeur from the broad -shaded piazza of the world- known Shepherd's Hotel. There were officials in all the gilt and insignia of office, English people of wealth, and all kinds of vehicles filled with all sorts of people.
Especially strange were the Saises, running before the carriages of royalty. Clothed... in fluttering white robes reaching only to the knee, in gold-embroidered waistcoats, and with Greek cap, they fly with wand in hand, clearing the way. Bare-legged, alert, and strong, they keep ahead of the swift-trotting horses. They, beyond doubt, go at the pace that kills, for they are said to die young.
Ladies in transparent Turkish veils go by Egyptian, Arab, Turk a medley mixed with the poorest half-naked beggars. Some you see have scarcely a garment. Others are clothed in finest embroideries and rich Eastern stuffs.
