Familiar Anecdotes of Sir Walter Scott Quotes

“Who was Lady Scott originally? I really wish anybody would tell me, for surely someone must know. There is a veil of mystery hung over that dear lady's birth and parentage, which I have been unable to see through or lift up; and there have been more lies told to me about it, and even published in all the papers of Britain, by those who ought to have known than ever was told about those of any woman that ever was born.”
