What reading level is The Ancient Régime : a Tale 3 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
137 Jean, " the expectation of being broken on the wheel does not tend to nerve a man's sinews.
Tell the count what I say : the prospect will be unpleasant to him, you may be sure ; and if he do not consent himself, and make the girl con- sent too, I am very much mistaken. If he do act foolishly, the first appearance of Pierre Jean on the stage, and a word or two whispered in his ear by me, will alter the whole complexion of the affair, depend upon it, and very soon bring him to his senses." Th...e baron paused for several minutes, think- ing deeply over all the man had said, weighing every probability, and calculating every result.
" It is a hopeful scheme," he replied, at length, " the most hopeful scheme I have yet heard of; and if I could be certain that you have sufficient evidence to convict him, or even to cast a grave suspicion upon him, I should not in the least doubt of success ; but the story is improbable.
Unless, in the very first instance, there were strong proof, the accusation would not be listened to.
