His alarum brought out the whole garrison of dogs Both mongrel, puppy, whelp, and hound, And curs of low degree ;all open mouthed and vociferous. 1should correct my quotation; not a cur was to be seen on the premises Scott was too true a sportsman, and had too high a veneration for pure blood, to tolerate a mongrel. In a little while the lord of the castle himself made his appearance. I knew him at once by the descriptions I had read and heard, and the likenesses that had been published of him. He was tall, and of a large and powerful frame. His dress was simple, and almost rustic. An old green shooting coat, with a dog whistle at the button hole, brown linen pantaloons, stout shoes that tied at the ankles, and a white hat that had evidently seen service. He came limping up the gravel walk, aiding himself by a stout walking staff, but moving rapidly and with vigour. By his side jogged along a large iron-grey stag hound of a most grave demeanour, who took no part in the clamour of the canine rabble, but seemed to consider himself bound, for the dignity of the house, to give me a courteous reception.

Abbotsford and Newstead Abbey Classic Reprint Washington Irving Books
As part of the great American authors interview great European authors series...But seriously.
You may not realize that Washington Irving once visited Sir Walter Scott. If you didn't, then this book contains the recanting of that tale, as well as a visit to Newstead Abbey, the home of the late Lord Byron (late even in Irving's day). It is somewhat interesting from a historical standpoint, but there is nothing in this book that is of great interest unless you are a fan of either Sir Walter Scott, Washington Irving, Lord Byron, or some combination of these...
Yet, I am selling short those folks who enjoy reading historical Scottish travelogues. Oh, for shame.
Still, a very unique piece of literature which is short enough, and written well enough that it might be worthy of your time, proving you are an avid reader.
