What reading level is The Life of Colonel Fred Burnaby book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Frenchman, who undertook to show every- thing worth seeing. Bumaby observed that he had a particular desire to see an exhibition of Moorish dancing girls. Few travellers, he tells us, had, up to that time at any rate, " seen the real thing," dragomen and guides being in the habit of putting off their employers with a spurious article — ^namely a collec- tion of Jewish girls made up in Moorish fashion. " They go through a Hebrew jig, which the innocent traveller imagines to be the genuine thing.... But it is as different from it as an ordinary valse from the true habanera." Having disguised himself and Burnaby as Arabs — and Bumaby's oriental features looked extremely well in a burnous — the Frenchman made his way into the native quarter of the town, and succeeded in engaging the ser- vices of four dancing girls, whom he managed to smuggle into the room which he and Bumaby had hired. The dance was as novel as it was fascinating. While two of the dark-eyed damsels tum-tummed on a kind of harp, the dancers threw themselves into graceful poses and performed evolutions that baffled description.
