What reading level is My Contemporaries in Fiction book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Who work the contemptible _fantoccini_ who gesticulate to the Ephesianhubbub of 'greatness' I neither know nor care, but it is simply out ofcredence that their motions are spontaneous.
_Expede Herculem_. I will take a solitary story from Mr. Crockett's'Stickit Minister. ' It is called 'The Courtship of Allan Fairley, ' The tale is of a youngminister of the peasant class, whose parents through much privation havekept their son at college. He is elected to a living in an aristocraticparish, and t...akes his old peasant mother to keep house for him. Some ofhis more polished parishioners object to the old lady's presence at themanse, and they have the rather astonishing impertinence to proposethat the son shall send her away. He refuses, and shows his visitors thedoor. These are the bare lines of the story so far as we are concernedwith it.
Think how Dr. Macdonald or J. M. Barrie would have handled this! Thehumour of either would have danced round the crass obtuseness of thedeputation and the mingled wrath and amusement of the minister.
