What reading level is The Sin of Joost Avelingh: a Dutch Story book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
He was clerk to the District Court; his uncle in the Hague had got him the place recently in exchange for a vote. "Shall I read it you?" Joost nodded assent.
"AveHngh Institute and Establishment," began Kees, "for the Reception and Retention, the Maintenance, Sup- Digitized by V^jOOQlC CHARITY. 109 port and Entertainment, and furthermore the General Advantagement and Protection of the Aged, Industrious and Deserving Poor, Married, Single or otherwise under the motto 'Virtue Vanquisheth Vicissit...udes.'" No one smiled at this majestic procession of words.
Such titles are more or less the custom in Holland, where no infant organisation is ever ushered into the world without a name as long as a baptismal robe. The motto also is a national institution, and — common-sense coming to the rescue — an Establishment like the above-mentioned would soon be known as the "V.V.V." "You might leave out * otherwise,'" remarked Joost.
"That shows you are not a lawyer," answered Kees, gravely. "No lawyer would ever have said that.", "I bow to the authority of the Court," replied Joost.
