What reading level is Reminiscences of An Indian Cavalry Officer book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
On this occasion the guard had stalled their horses and were sleeping on string beds drawn across the opening. The thief got unperceived into one of the stables, leaped the horse out over the bars and over the bed of the man sleeping in front and disappeared at full gallop into the dark, followed by the bullets of the awakened troopers. I have often pondered over this extraordinary episode, and conclude the man must have marked down a horse that he knew could and would leap ; but what AN INDIAN... CAVALRY OFFICER 161 nerve ! Suppose the horse had not leapt or had fallen ?
In that cantonment it was customary, I sup- pose, for all officers to sleep with a revolver handy. At any rate, I always had one and an electric torch under my pillow, and I entertained the fond hope that should the unpleasant circum- stance arise of finding one of these thieves by the bedside, the glare of the torch in his eyes would sufficiently blind him to enable me to fire the revolver into his body before he could use his weapon.
