What reading level is The Life Letters of Lady Dorothy Nevill book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
On the other hand, she would frankly confess that some of the old-world aristocracy had been absurdly overbearing.
She could recall how Lady Londonderry used to hold a sort of Court at Holdernesse House, where she was wont to receive her guests sitting on a dais under a canopy. This great lady, not absolutely perfect though perfectly absolute, would seem to have taken little notice of her guests as a rule and was noted for her great hauteur. She was, however, not insensible to merit. She did al...l she could to help and push on Disraeli, in which endeavour she joined with Lady Jersey, who never failed to exercise her influence in favour of the rising politician who was then not particularly favoured by society in general.
The social power wielded by great ladies, such as the two mentioned above, seems almost inconceivable to-day, their easy leisured arrogance was taken more or less as a matter of course and they would have been very much astonished had it aroused any criticism ; small wonder, when they were brought up to think they were the very salt of the earth.
