What reading level is Idyls And Sketches book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Occasionally a bivalve proves to be a veritable jewel casket, as in it are sometimes found upwards of a hundred pearls of different sizes. A disadvantage attached to the wearing of pearls is their liability to tarnish, especially if worn next the skin, when, of course, their bril- liancy is lost. Nor are they like their sister gems, incorruptible, but after the lapse of years have been known to crumble to dust.
"Pale, glistening pearls," of which the poet sings, have from the remotest ages been... looked upon as among the most precious of gems. With their chaste loveliness and quiet brilliance, they are often preferred to the diamond, whose eye- dazzling splendor so imperatively demands ad- miration.
As to their abundance, a stream of pearls, so to speak, must have flowed through imperial Rome, judging from their lavish use in the hey- day of the empire. The Roman matrons and maids, tired perhaps of wearing them in their dark locks, used them in decorating their sandal ties.
Not to be outdone by this bit of feminine foppery, the Emperor Caligula wore pearl-embroidered no IDYLS AND SKETCHES buskins, and even, as history relates, gave his fa- vorite horse a collar of pearls.
