What reading level is The By Ways of Braithe book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
As I looked admiringly at this evidence of the palm- ist's courtesy toward his hostess, the words of his verse '272 THE BY-WAYS OF BRAITHE brought to my recollection the use to which my Scotch ancestress had put her fan when saving the life of the young Hungarian, the gypsy. Yet the palmist could never have heard this story ! Then my mind reverted to the opal, to its strange disappearance, and the palmist's words about its recovery and my choice. Scarce knowing that I did so, I again read his d...og- gerel, and lifting it, held it between me and the light, idly wondering of what the odd silky paper on which it was written was made. To my surprise I saw that in the spaces between the lines of the verse there ran, in each, two other lines, written in very small but per- fectly legible characters. This had been done with pale yellow ink.
Like subtle poison, sure if slow, The Opal's vengeance follows on.
Grim Death will hail its twice-doomed foe Ere thrice again has set the sun.
And ere thrice the sun has set Comes thy choice do not forget !
