What reading level is Behind the Arras book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Hush! My God!I think the wallsTake notes to help him prodUs up. He galls My very soul to strife, With his death's-head face. He is foul too in his life, Some hid disgrace, Some secret thing he does, I warrant you, For all his cheek to usIs shaved so blue.
He takes good care (by the shadeOf seven wives!)That the undertaker's tradeHe lives by thrives.
Nor chick nor child has he. So servile smug, With that cringe in his knee, --God curse his lug!
But him, you should have seenHim yesterday;The land...lord's smirk turned greenAt his smile. The way He served that bloodless fish, Were like to freeze him. But meeting elsewhere, pish!He never sees him.
Yet such a gentleman, So sure and slow. The vilest harridanIs not too low, If there is pity's need;And no man born, For cruelty or greedEscapes that scorn.
Most of all things, it seems, He loves the town. Watching the bright-faced streamsGo up and down, I have surprised him oftenOn Tremont street, And marked the grave face soften, The mouth grow sweet, In a brown study overThe men and women.
