"Scott's life and character are the more extraordinary," wrote the TLS's reviewer [J.P. Carswell], "because there was outwardly very little to signal that he was not a genial and talented, but quite ordinary man of his class. A passage in the able pen-portrait drawn by Mr. Pearson - one of the best things in his book - indicates that there was something more, and that the something was strange and complicated: 'His cheeks were firm but heavy, and when walking alone or sitting in court his expression was vacant, dull and even repellent. But under the stimulus of conversation his countenance was transformed; his eyes lit up, his mouth twitched with humour, his face beamed good-nature. Along with the benevolence which irradiated his features in society, people sometimes caught a foxy, penetrating look, as if he were meditating mischief; but in an instant this would be banished by a beatific smile.'".
