What reading level is Companionable Books book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Bardell to the feigned indignation of Sergeant Buzfuz over the incriminating phrase "chops and tomato sauce ! " If it is a tragic climax, like the death of Bill Sykes, 100 CHARLES DICKENS a score of dark premonitions lead up to it, the dingiest slum of London is chosen for it, the grimy streets are filled with a furious crowd to witness it, and just as the murderer is about to escape, the ghostly eyes of his victim glare upon him, and he plunges from the roof, tangled in his rope, to be hanged ...by the hand of the Eternal Judge as surely as if he stood upon the gallows.
Or suppose the climax is not one of shame and terror, but of pure pity and tenderness, like the death of Little Nell. Then the quiet room is pre- pared for it, and the white bed is decked with win- ter berries and green leaves that the child loved because they loved the light; and gentle friends are there to read and talk to her, and she sleeps herself away in loving dreams, and the poor old grand- father, whom she has guided by the hand and com- forted, kneels at her bedside, wondering why his dear Nell lies so still, and the very words which tell us of her peace and his grief, move rhythmically and plaintively, like soft music with a dying fall.
