What reading level is Gaudissart Ii book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The Human Comedy gave way before the comedy of cashmeres. The Persian sacrificed a diamond or two from his crown to buy that sonecessary daylight; for a ray of sunlight shows the play of thecolors, brings out the charms of a shawl, and doubles its value; 'tisan irresistible light; literally, a golden ray. From this fact you mayjudge how far Paris shops are arranged with a view to effect.
But to return to the young assistants, to the beribboned man of fortywhom the King of the French receives at... his table, to the red-beardedhead of the department with his autocrat's air. Week by week thesemeritus Gaudissarts are brought in contact with whims past counting;they know every vibration of the cashmere chord in the heart of woman. No one, be she lady or lorette, a young mother of a family, arespectable tradesman's wife, a woman of easy virtue, a duchess or abrazen-fronted ballet-dancer, an innocent young girl or a too innocentforeigner, can appear in the shop, but she is watched from the momentwhen she first lays her fingers upon the door-handle.
