What reading level is The Guest At the Gate book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The traveler left no tracks behind — No trace above his sheeted form.
57 THEIR ARGUMENT "They say, 'short money, short shovels.'" — Newspaper paragraph.
Be sure in the end you will not outwit them, — You that are Lucre's, they that are Labor's; As jurists of God they rise and acquit them, — Your low-browed, toil-furrowed neighbors.
They troop to their work in the gray of the morning, Each with a shovel swung over his shoulder. . . .
You have cut down their wages without any warn- ing- Angry ? W...ell, let their wrath smoulder!
Faces like masks, neither glad nor sorry, Stolid and silent each picks up the shovel.
They're marching away from the mouth of the quarry — The pit where they daily grovel!
Meanwhile, you think with what answer you'll fit them, When, listen and look! their shovels they're grinding.
Jurists of God — and you cannot outwit them — "Short money, short shovels," their finding!
Two cents and a half are docked from their wages — Two inches — two and a half, from their shovels.
