What reading level is Behind the Screens : An English Woman's Impressions of Japan book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
As well tell a brook to stop babbling 140 Behind the Shoji as a maiden missionary lady of spirit to remain silent under the circumstances ! This one grandly dismissed the idea of personal safety from her mind, and called to her friend sleeping on the floor above, "There are robbers in the house. Get out on the roof and shout." The friend promptly did; the robbers fled at the alarm — luckily, for no help was forthcoming. Next day, when the neighbours were reproached for their lack of public spir...it, they excused themselves by saying, "Yes, oh, yes, we heard a noise but we said to one another, 'the honourable missionaries are singing hymns again,' and so we turned round and went to sleep." A very ingenious and plausible excuse it was, but not convincing. Do you suppose they really thought the "God Ladies" were holding a service on the roof in their night-clothes? Not a bit of it; they heard, they realised, and they remained away because nothing on earth would have induced them to willingly enter a house with Dorobo in it.
