What reading level is The Indian Lily, And Other Stories book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Her idle chatter helped him. Her little tricks refreshed him. But the most important point was this: she was no trouble. He could caress her or beat her, call to her and drive her from him like a little dog. He could let her feel the full measure of his contempt, and she would not move a muscle.
She was used to nothing else.
He passed two or three hours daily in her com- pany, for time had to be killed somehow. Some- times, too, he took her to the circus or the theatre.
He had long broken with ...the families of his 214 AUTUMN acquaintance and could appear in public with light women.
And yet he felt a sharp revulsion at the atmos- phere that surrounded him. A strange discom- fort invaded his soul in her presence. He didn't feel degraded. He knew her to be a harlot. But that was what he wanted. None but such an one would permit herself to be so treated. It was rather a disguised discouragement that held him captive.
Was life to pass thus unto the very end? Was life worth living, if it offered a favourite of for- tune, a master of his will and of his actions, noth- ing better than this?
