Excerpt from The Fortunes of Nigel, Vol. 3 of 3 Death finds us 'mid our play-things - snatches usAs a cross nurse might do a wayward child, From all our toys and baubles. His rough callUnlooses all our favourite ties on earth;And well if they are such as may be answer'dIn yonder world, where all is judged of truly. Old Play. It was a ghastly scene which opened upon Martha Trapbois return with a light. Her own hagard and austere features were exaggerated by all the desperation of grief, fear, and passion; but the latter was predominant. On the floor Jay the body of the robber, who had expired without a groan, while his blood flowing plentifully had crimsoned all around.

About the Author:

Sir Walter Scott was a Scottish novelist, playwright and poet who earned worldwide celebrity for his writing in the early nineteenth century. Born and educated in Edinburgh, Scott s first literary success came when a childhood friend established a printing house and offered to publish his poetry. Despite earning some success as a poet, Scott decided to publish his first novel anonymously, and released Waverly in 1814. As The Author of Waverly, Scott went on to publish dozens of novels, short stories, and poems, including Ivanhoe, Rob Roy, and The Lady of the Lake. He died in 1832 at the age of 61.
