What reading level is The Great Diamond Hoax And Other Stirring Incidents in the Life of Asbury Harpen book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Some conversation folhjwed as to the terms and con- ditions. The official wanted all that was coming, but evidently did not wish to scare ofif a good customer by an extravagant price. At last he got down to a cold cash proposition. Would I consider, under all the cir- cumstances, £500 excessive for so delicate a service?
A bargain was struck readily enough. Much better terms would have been cheerfully granted. The con- tracting party underestimated his hand.
Through this person I secured an acc...urate state- ment of Mr. Samson's transactions. I even was shown checks and cross checks, which I photographed for fu- ture use. These proved beyond all question that Mr. Samson was a beneficiary of the Emma mine promo- tion, that he had profited largely by other deals, and, in short, was faithless to the trust of his employer, and trading on that trust.
Here loomed up the outlines of a great dramatic sit- uation, the unmasking of a conspiracy, the righting of many wrongs, by which the villain of the play would be confounded and the innocent come to their own.
