What reading level is The Professor At the Breakfast-Table book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
None on those of the left. Ah, ha!
What do those mean?
All this seems longer in the telling, of course, than it was in fact. While I was making these observa- tions of the objects around me, I was also forming my opinion as to the kind of case with which I had to deal.
There are three wicks, you know, to the lamp of a man's life: brain, blood, and breath. Press the brain a little, its light goes out, followed by both the others.
Stop the heart a minute and out go all three of the wicks. Choke t...he air out of the lungs, and presently the fluid ceases to supply the other centres of flame, and all is soon stagnation, cold, and darkness. The "tripod of life" a French physiologist called these three organs. It is all clear enough which leg of the tripod is going to break down here. I could tell you exactly what the difficulty is; — which would be as intelligible and amusing as a watchmaker's descrip- tion of a diseased timekeeper to a ploughman. It is enough to say, that I found just what I expected to, and that I think this attack is only the prelude of more serious consequences, — which expression means you very well know what.
