What reading level is The Drama of Saint Helena book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
" "Yes. " " Were you ever in action ? " "Yes. " " And ever wounded ? " "No. " " Then you are a lucky fellow. " Now came the turn of Dr. Heir, the physician of the 66th. His introduction gave rise to an amusing mistake, and to an incident that, in spite of its insignificance, must have appeared important and extremely regrettable to that formalist, Hudson Lowe. The title of Emperor was never to be given to Napoleon by a British subject. But, whatever Henry maintains, the prisoner of Saint Helena... retained something about his person that was too imposing for the strict observance of such a regula- tion. Many felt embarrassment and were conscious of rudeness when they called him " General. " The peasants of the island, at the beginning of the Captivity, were wont to greet him with a "good- morning, Mr. Emperor. " Some officers, like Captain THE EMPEROR 115 Basil Hall, addressed him as " His Majesty, " of set purpose. And that day, Sir George Bingham in- advertently perpetrated a similar error.
