What reading level is Tressilian And His Friends book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Now, more than ever, she gave great alms to the poor ; but, even in the West Minster, to which she sometimes resorted with her husband and her household, neither her heart nor her lips were moved with prayer. Something heavy was upon her mind, for- bidding her to pour out her troubled spirit before her Maker.
But her alms to the poor were constant and ample, her gifts to the religious houses were great ; and hence it happened that the common voice spoke loudly of her piety, shown through her wo...rks — as if Charity could atone for the lack of Faith. Yet, oftentimes, persons profess to believe, never showily that belief by their actions towards their fellow- men — as if Faith could atone for the lack of Charity ! It is then the casket without the jewel.
As years rolled on, Edith Lady Hatton appeared of lighter and livelier mood. For the most part, she now thought of the Past as of an unpleasant memory, which might best be cast into forgetfulness. But there were times when she had awful forebodings, and terrible fears, and dread despair ; when her eyes would have a fixed and stony glare,, as if they saw in vacancy that which they hated to behold, yet could not avoid — when the bloom of beauty would leave the face, and an unnatural paleness succeed —when her lips would try to utter faint and hurried words of awe and supplication — ^when all the living, breathing world around her, would seem as nothing before the compelling power of that dreadful Presence, invisible to all but her !
