What reading level is Stage-Land book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The inconvenient husband is a most pathetic example of this. Medicalscience is powerless to save that man when the last act comes round;indeed, we doubt whether medical science, in its present state ofdevelopment, could even tell what is the matter with him or why he diesat all. He looks healthy and robust enough and nobody touches him, yetdown he drops, without a word of warning, stone-dead, in the middle ofthe floor--he always dies in the middle of the floor. Some folks liketo die in bed, but... stage people don't. They like to die on the floor. Weall have our different tastes.
The adventuress herself is another person who dies with remarkable ease. We suppose in her case it is being so used to it that makes her so quickand clever at it. There is no lingering illness and doctors' bills andupsetting of the whole household arrangements about her method. One walkround the stage and the thing is done.
All bad characters die quickly on the stage. Good characters take a longtime over it, and have a sofa down in the drawing-room to do it on, andhave sobbing relatives and good old doctors fooling around them, and cansmile and forgive everybody.
