What reading level is The Ellwoods book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Ellwood had been so overcome with anxiety that she decided not to attempt the ceremony; but the elaborate preparations of Es- ther's court-dress were allowed to continue, in the hope of a favourable change in the Doctor's illness.
It was a creation beautiful to behold. The dress proper was somewhat simply but classically draped, and it had just a touch of ivory tint to its otherwise white and fleckless satin. The trimming was simple white chiffon, becoming a debutante. There hung thence backwar...ds, from the points of the two shoulders, a train of satin some four yards in length, trailing down and lying upon the floor, spreading out slightly 142 A COTTKT CEKEMONT.
like a fan at the end. This also was trimmed with white chiffon, while here and there, adown its length, were nosegays of lilies of the valley; and, at the shoul- der, in front, clustered a bunch of the same flowers.
A shower of lilies of the valley, as a bouquet, com- pleted the arrangement.
Then there were the tiny satin slippers, and the marvellous veil and aigrette of the three Prince of Wales's ostrich feathers, which crowned the hair, which latter was, of course, also arranged in proper court fashion — the whole framing the most girlish figure and spirituelle face probably ever seen in a Queen's Drawing Eoom in any land.
