What reading level is Nicholas Minturn: a Study in a Story book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
I shall be late, but I must go." " It seems as if you might stay with us this evening — after so long an absence — and such an escape for yourself — and such anxiety for us all" — said Mrs. Benson, hesitatingly and plead- ingly.
" My dear," said Mr. Benson, sternly, " if I ever owed a duty to the church, I owe it now. I could not take a moment of comfort at home, even to-night, with the consciousness that I was neglecting a duty." And Mr. Benson was thoroughly sincere — or he thought he was, at... least. His sense of duty was not at all that sense which springs from the love of doing right. It was just what Nicho- las had once declared to be a commercial sense. He wanted prosperity. He wanted to save and to increase his good repu- tation. He would have liked to place God and man under obligations to him, so that they should owe him a duty. He wanted, at least, to keep even with them, and now that he re- alized with painftil and humiliating certainty that he was not even with them, — that he was almost hopelessly in debt, — he saw before him a life of painful, and, what seemed to him, self-deny- ing, service.
