What reading level is The Egregious English book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Whereas, in point of fact, he never clapped eyes on the man till he had spent his last farthing.
It is all very English, and to a mere Scot a trifle astonishing. The Scot, if I know him at all, takes no joy of spendthrifts, however prettily dressed, and least of all can he be brought to court the society of a man who has reduced himself to beg- gary by extravagance and riot. The bare gift of prodigality and the bare reputation of having been wealthy are nothing to the Scot. If he wants men to a...dmire, he can find men of solider quality. The English- man, on the other hand, has no great love for either solidity or worth : the first makes him envious ; the second bores him. Though he may himself be a person of judgment and 138 THE MAN-ABOUT-TOWN sober life, he likes to have about him men who are going or who have gone the whole hog, and who pursue their pleasures without restraint, remorse, or fear. Hence the man- about-town will always figure interestingly in English society. There is romance about him.
