What reading level is The Holladay Case: a Tale book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
" repeated Jenkinson, in evident surprise. "But is she ill?" " She's your patient, isn't she? I thought you were the family doctor." " So I am," assented the other. " But I haven't seen Miss Holladay for ten days or two weeks. At that time, she seemed quite well — ^a little nervous, perhaps, and worried, but certainly not requiring medical atten- tion. She has always been unusually ro- bust." Mr. Royce stopped, perplexed; as for me, my head was in a whirl again.
" I'll tell you the story," he s...aid at last.
" I should like the benefit of your advice; " and he recounted rapidly the facts of Miss Holladay's illness, in so far as he knew them, ending with an account of our recent visit, and the statement of the maid that her mis- 124 The Mysterious Maid tress was under a doctor's care. Jenkin- son heard him to the end without inter- rupting, but he was plainly puzzled and annoyed.
"And you say she looked very ill?" he asked.
"Oh, very ill, sir; alarmingly ill, to my unpracticed eyes. She seemed thin and worn — she could scarcely talk — she had such a cough — ^I hardly knew her." Again the doctor paused to consider.
