What reading level is The Countess of Albany book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
This seems extremely unlikely, as the first use to which Charles Edward would naturally have puthis pistols would have been shooting Alfieri, for whose murder heimmediately offered a thousand sequins. At any rate, raging like amaniac, the discomfited husband went back to his empty house.
It would be pretty and pathetic to insert in this part of my narrative apage of half-condemnatory condolence with Charles Edward. But this Ifind it perfectly impossible to do. Of course, if we call to mindFalki...rk and Skye, if we conjure up in our fancy the Prince Charlie whostill lived in the thoughts of Flora MacDonald, there is something veryfrightful in this tragi-comic flight of the Countess of Albany: theslamming of that convent door in his face is the worst injury, the worstinjustice, the worst ignominy reserved by fate for the last of theunhappy Stuarts.
But of the Charles Edward of the Forty-five there remained so little inthis Count of Albany that we have no right to consider them any longeras one individual, to condone the brutishness of the Count of Albany forthe sake of the chivalry of Prince Charles, to degrade our conception ofthe young man by tacking on to it the just ignominy inflicted upon theold man, the man who had inherited his name and position, but scarcelyhis personality.
