What reading level is Thou Art the Man : a Novel 1 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
I may be ambitious, but I won't sacrifice my girl's happiness, even to make her a great lady." All this had been said more than once before Sibyl's return, and all this Mountford had ac- cepted as inevitable — a decree of destiny, since Sir Joseph was the kind of man to carry out his own ideas to the letter, and it would be hard if among the bachelor Peers of Great Britain a worthy as well as a titled husband could not be found for his heiress. Mountford knew himself out of the running.
" Were ...I a Duke, and the inheritor of a couple of shires, I should be just as ineligible as I am now," he thought. " Nothing would ever induce me to link my life with a dearer life, and blight the heart that loved me." 206 THOU ART THE MAN.
Having thus made up his mind about himself — having set himself resolutely on the side of the celibates — Brandon Mountford made the mistake which men are apt to make in such circumstances. He was too secure of himself.
He thought that he might reckon in advance of the Greybeard, Time, and think of himself as a middle-aged unimpressionable misogynist, while he was still in the very morning of life, much fresher in heart and brain than the majority of young men, since he had never blunted his feelings in the mill-round of youthful dissipations — had not wasted the first fervent love of boyhood upon the syrens and sylphs of the music-halls or the dancing-club — had not been spoiled or wearied by the vacuity and parrot-speech of the modish young lady, who is by way of being sporting or fast.
