What reading level is Two Ancient Homes book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Brooch, signet-ring, watch, golden-headed cane, All marked " a gentleman, complete, " not vain.
THE PRESENT HOUSE. 25 Tall, straight, in powdered hair and ribboned queue, Starched frill, hand-ruffles sheer, he sought his pew ; Turned not the curious ear, nor wandering eye, But knelt in heart, as incense soared on high.
Courteous in manner, dignified, not stern, His words were weighty, quick to pierce or burn. In strong, true hands upheld he doubtful scales, Pressed not the beam, nor missed just... weights and tales.
In parlours, peer, in all humility ; In hovels, gracious, just, and kind was he. Forgot not conscience at the desk, in streets ; Bade time and truth state, audit balance-sheets.
Grand, graceful, like his fine old trees, For storms too strong, an aspen in the breeze, He towered in height, strength, graces, all his own, A sycamore, an elm, an oak in one.
26 THE PRESENT HOUSE.
A moderator, chosen by the town For reverence and trust, no mean renown, Rude, boyish men he ruled with moral power ; Had oil for troubled seas should tempests lower.
