What reading level is Undercurrents of the Second Empire (Notes And Recollections) book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Just before he left, he held forth to me for about ten minutes.
I was under the impression, at first that he was joking, but I assure your Majesty that he was ter- ribly in earnest. At last I succeeded in putting in a word. " But assuredly," I said, " your Majesty does not expect the Emperor to remain single all the days of his life ?" " That's just what I do expect," he shrieked ; " for my nephew is as much fit to marry as were Louis XIII., Louis XVI., and Peter 1 1 1, of Russia." With this he... turned on his heel, leaving me absolutely breathless with aston- ishment. I did not know whether to laugh or to be indignant ; but laughter got the upper hand> for I may frankly confess that the idea of compar- ing your Majesty as a would-be husband with the somewhat physically deficient spouses of Anne of Austria, Sophie of Anhalt-Zerbst, and Marie- Antoinette was too much for my risible nerves.
I stood absolutely roaring with laughter in the middle of the room. Since then, I have been thinking what a capital comedy the idea would make, if properly worked out and the scene laid among the aristocracy, or better still, among the wealthier middle classes.
