I may fail to satisfy my own mind that the true merits of the wonderful and mysterious people I discovered, have been justly described. I may fail to interest the public; which is the one difficulty most likely to occur, and most to be regretted -- not for my own sake, but theirs. It is so hard to get human nature out of the ruts it has moved in for ages. To tear away their present faith, is like undermining their existence. Yet others who come after me will be more aggressive than I. I have this consolation: whatever reception may be given my narrative by the public, I know that it has been written solely for its good. That wonderful civilization I met with in Mizora, I may not be able to more than faintly shadow forth here, yet from it, the present age may form some idea of that grand, that ideal life that is possible for our remote posterity. Again and again has religious enthusiasm pictured a life to be eliminated from the grossness and imperfections of our material existence. The Spirit -- the Mind -- that mental gift, by or through which we think, reason, and suffer, is by one tragic and awful struggle to free itself from temporal blemishes and difficulties, and become spiritual and perfect. Yet, who, sweeping the limitless fields of space with a telescope, glancing at myriads of worlds that a lifetime could not count, or gazing through a microscope at a tiny world in a drop of water, has dreamed that patient Science and practice could evolve for the living human race, the ideal life of exalted knowledge: the life that I found in Mizora; that Science had made real and practicable. The duty that I owe to truth compels me to acknowledge that I have not been solicited to write this narrative by my friends; nor has it been the pastime of my leisure hours; nor written to amuse an invalid; nor, in fact, for any of those reasons which have prompted so many men and women to write a book. It is, on the contrary, the result of hours of laborious work, undertaken for the sole purpose of benefiting Science and giving encouragement to those progressive minds who have already added their mite of knowledge to the coming future of the race.", "start_byte": 2452, "end_byte": 4652, "is_quote": false, "start_time": 51.0, "end_time": 188.32000732421875, "cut_start_time": 51.375, "cut_end_time": 187.9200625}, {"text": " says Junius in his famous letter to the king.

At her request, I accompanied my friend to witness the ceremonies. To me, a silent and sympathizing spectator, they were impressive and solemn in the extreme.

It consisted of two massive round towers projecting deeply and darkly at the extreme angles of a curtain, or flat wall, which united them, and thus protecting the main entrance, that opened through a lofty arch in the centre of the curtain into the inner court of the castle. The arms of the family, carved in freestone, frowned over the gateway, and the portal showed the spaces arranged by the architect for lowering the portcullis and raising the drawbridge.

The spire of a church and the appearance of some houses indicated the situation of a village at the place where the stream had its junction with the ocean. The vales seemed well cultivated, the little inclosures into which they were divided skirting the bottom of the hills, and sometimes carrying their lines of straggling hedgerows a little way up the ascent. Above these were green pastures, tenanted chiefly by herds of black cattle, then the staple commodity of the country, whose distant low gave no unpleasing animation to the landscape. The remoter hills were of a sterner character, and, at still greater distance, swelled into mountains of dark heath, bordering the horizon with a screen which gave a defined and limited boundary to the cultivated country, and added at the same time the pleasing idea that it was sequestered and solitary. The sea-coast, which Mannering now saw in its extent, corresponded in variety and beauty with the inland view. In some places it rose into tall rocks, frequently crowned with the ruins of old buildings, towers, or beacons, which, according to tradition, were placed within sight of each other, that, in times of invasion or civil war, they might communicate by signal for mutual defence and protection. Ellangowan Castle was by far the most extensive and important of these ruins, and asserted from size and situation the superiority which its founders were said once to have possessed among the chiefs and nobles of the district.

The doors and windows were ornamented with projections exhibiting rude specimens of sculpture and tracery, partly entire and partly broken down, partly covered by ivy and trailing plants, which grew luxuriantly among the ruins. That end of the court which faced the entrance had also been formerly closed by a range of buildings; but owing, it was said, to its having been battered by the ships of the Parliament under Deane, during the long civil war, this part of the castle was much more ruinous than the rest, and exhibited a great chasm, through which Mannering could observe the sea, and the little vessel (an armed lugger), which retained her station in the centre of the bay.

A respectable farmer happened to be the next passenger, and, seeing the bonnet, alighted, took it up, and rather imprudently put it on his own head. At this instant Bargally came up with some assistants, and, recognising the bonnet, charged the farmer of Bantoberick with having robbed him, and took him into custody.

The story has its own history: one can watch the various reminiscences and experiences of life that crystallized together in Scott\u2019s mind, and grouped themselves fantastically into his unpremeditated plot. Sir Walter gives, in the preface of 1829, the legend which he heard from John MacKinlay, his father\u2019s Highland servant, and on which he meant to found a tale more in Hawthorn\u2019s manner than in his own. That plan he changed in the course of printing, \u201cleaving only just enough of astrology to annoy pedantic reviewers and foolish Puritans.\u201d Whence came the rest of the plot, -- the tale of the long-lost heir, and so on? The true heir, \u201ckept out of his own,\u201d and returning in disguise, has been a favourite character ever since Homer sang of Odysseus, and probably long before that. But it is just possible that Scott had a certain modern instance in his mind. In turning over the old manuscript diary at Branxholme Park (mentioned in a note to \u201cWaverley\u201d), the Editor lighted on a singular tale, which, in the diarist\u2019s opinion, might have suggested \u201cGuy Mannering\u201d to Sir Walter. The resemblance between the story of Vanbeest Brown and the hero of the diarist was scanty; but in a long letter of Scott\u2019s to Lady Abercorn (May 21, 1813), a the Editor finds Sir Walter telling his correspondent the very narrative recorded in the Branxholme Park diary. Singular things happen, Sir Walter says; and he goes on to describe a case just heard in the court where he is sitting as Clerk of Sessions. Briefly, the anecdote is this: A certain Mr. Carruthers of Dormont had reason to suspect his wife\u2019s fidelity. While proceedings for a divorce were pending, Mrs. Carruthers bore a daughter, of whom her husband, of course, was legally the father. But he did not believe in the relationship, and sent the infant girl to be brought up, in ignorance of her origin and in seclusion, among the Cheviot Hills. Here she somehow learned the facts of her own story. She married a Mr. Routledge, the son of a yeoman, and \u201ccompounded\u201d her rights (but not those of her issue) for a small sung of ready money, paid by old Dormont. She bears a boy; then she and her husband died in poverty. Their son was sent by a friend to the East Indies, and was presented with a packet of papers, which he left unopened at a lawyer\u2019s. The young man made a fortune in India, returned to Scotland, and took a shooting in Dumfriesshire, near bormont, his ancestral home. He lodged at a small inn hard by, and the landlady, struck by his name, began to gossip with him about his family history. He knew nothing of the facts which the landlady disclosed, but, impressed by her story, sent for and examined his neglected packet of papers. Then he sought legal opinion, and was advised, by President Blair, that he had a claim worth presenting on the estate of Dormont. \u201cThe first decision of the cause,\u201d writes Scott, \u201cwas favourable.\u201d The true heir celebrated his legal victory by a dinner-party, and his friends saluted him as \u201cDormont.\u201d Next morning he was found dead. Such is the true tale. As it occupied Scott\u2019s mind in 1813, and as he wrote \u201cGuy Mannering\u201d in 1814-15, it is not impossible that he may have borrowed his wandering heir, who returns by pure accident to his paternal domains, and there learns his origin at a woman\u2019s lips, from the Dormont case.

The wicked uncle alleged that the heir was also dead. The child, ignorant of his birth, grew up, ran away from the Jesuits at the age of sixteen, enlisted in the French army, fought at Fontenoy, got his colours, and, later, landed in the Moray Firth as a French officer in 1745. He went through the campaign, was in hiding in Lochaber after Drumossie, and in making for a Galloway port, was seized, and imprisoned in Dumfries. Here an old woman of his father\u2019s household recognized him by \u201ca mark which she remembered on his body.\u201d His cause was taken up by friends; but the usurping uncle died, and Sir Robert Maxwell recovered his estates without a lawsuit. This anecdote is quoted from the \u201cNew Monthly Magazine,\u201d June, 1819. There is nothing to prove that Scott was acquainted with this adventure. Scott\u2019s own experience, as usual, supplied him with hints for his characters. The phrase of Dominie Sampson\u2019s father, \u201cPlease God, my bairn may live to wag his pow in a pulpit,\u201d was uttered in his own hearing. There was a Bluegown, or Bedesman, like Edie Ochiltree, who had a son at Edinburgh College. Scott was kind to the son, the Bluegown asked him to dinner, and at this meal the old man made the remark about the pulpit and the pow.\u2019 A similar tale is told by Scott in the Introduction to \u201cThe Antiquary\u201d (1830). As for the good Dominie, Scott remarks that, for \u201ccertain particular reasons,\u201d he must say what he has to say about his prototype \u201cvery generally.\u201d Mr. Chambers\u2019 finds the prototype in a Mr. James Sanson, tutor in the house of Mr. Thomas Scott, Sir Walter\u2019s uncle. It seems very unlike Sir Walter to mention this excellent man almost by his name, and the tale about his devotion to his patron\u2019s daughter cannot, apparently, be true of Mr. James Sanson. The prototype of Pleydell, according to Sir Walter himself (Journal, June 19, 1830), was \u201cmy old friend Adam Rolland, Esq., in external circumstances, but not in frolic or fancy.\u201d Mr. Chambers, however, finds the original in Mr. Andrew Crosbie, an advocate of great talents, who frolicked to ruin, and died in 1785. Scott may have heard tales of this patron of \u201cHigh Jinks,\u201d but cannot have known him much personally. Dandie Dinmont is simply the typical Border farmer. Mr. Shortreed, Scott\u2019s companion in his Liddesdale raids, thought that Willie Elliot, in Millburnholm, was the great original. Scott did not meet Mr. James Davidson in Hindlee, owner of all the Mustards and Peppers, till some years after the novel was written. \u201cGuy Mannering,\u201d when read to him, sent Mr. Davidson to sleep. \u201cThe kind and manly character of Dandie, the gentle and delicious one of his wife,\u201d and the circumstances of their home, were suggested, Lockhart thinks, by Scott\u2019s friend, steward, and amanuensis, Mr. William Laidlaw, by Mrs. Laidlaw, and by their farm among the braes of Yarrow. In truth, the Border was peopled then by Dandies and Ailies: nor is the race even now extinct in Liddesdale and Teviotdale, in Ettrick and Yarrow. As for Mustard and Pepper, their offspring too is powerful in the land, and is the deadly foe of vermin. The curious may consult Mr. Cook\u2019s work on \u201cThe Dandie Dinmont Terrier.\u201d The Duke of Buccleugh\u2019s breed still resembles the fine example painted by Gainsborough in his portrait of the duke (of Scott\u2019s time). \u201cTod Gabbie,\u201d again, as Lockhart says, was studied from Tod Willie, the huntsman of the hills above Loch Skene. As for the Galloway scenery, Scott did not know it well, having only visited \u201cthe Kingdom\u201d in 1793, when he was defending the too frolicsome Mr. McNaught, Minister of Girthon. The beautiful and lonely wilds of the Glenkens, in central Galloway, where traditions yet linger, were, unluckily, terra incognita to Scott. A Galloway story of a murder and its detection by the prints of the assassin\u2019s boots inspired the scene where Dirk Hatteraick is traced by similar means.

As for Brown himself, he is one of Sir Walter\u2019s usual young men, -- \u201cbrave, handsome, not too clever,\u201d -- the despair of their humorous creator. \u201cOnce you come to forty year,\u201d as Thackeray sings, \u201cthen you\u2019ll know that a lad is an ass;\u201d and Scott had come to that age, and perhaps entertained that theory of a jeune premier when he wrote \u201cGuy Mannering.\u201d In that novel, as always, he was most himself when dealing either with homely Scottish characters of everyday life, with exaggerated types of humorous absurdity, and with wildly adventurous banditti, who appealed to the old strain of the Border reiver in his blood. The wandering plot of \u201cGuy Mannering\u201d enabled him to introduce examples of all these sorts. The good-humoured, dull, dawdling Ellangowan, a laird half dwindled to a yeoman, is a sketch absolutely accurate, and wonderfully touched with pathos. The landladies, Mrs. MacCandlish and Tib Mumps, are little masterpieces; so is Mac-Morlan, the foil to Glossin; and so is Pleydell, allowing for the manner of the age. Glossin himself is best when least villanous. Sir Robert Hazlewood is hardly a success. But as to Jock Jabos, a Southern Scot may say that he knows Jock Jabos in the flesh, so persistent is the type of that charioteer. It is partly Scott\u2019s good fortune, partly it is his evil luck, to be so inimitably and intimately true in his pictures of Scottish character. This wins the heart of his countrymen, indeed; but the stranger can never know how good Scott really is, any more than a Frenchman can appreciate Falstaff. Thus the alien may be vexed by what he thinks the mere clannish enthusiasm of praise, in Scott\u2019s countrymen. Every little sketch of a passing face is exquisite in Scott\u2019s work, when he is at his best. For example, Dandie Dinmont\u2019s children are only indicated \u201cwith a dusty roll of the brush;\u201d but we recognize at once the large, shy, kindly families of the Border. Dandie himself, as the \u201cEdinburgh Review\u201d said (1817), \u201cis beyond all question the best rustic portrait that has ever yet been exhibited to the public, -- the most honourable to rustics, and the most creditable to the heart as well as to the genius of the Author, the truest to nature, the most complete in all its lineaments.\u201d Dandie is always delightful, -- whether at Mumps\u2019s Hall, or on the lonely moor, or at home in Charlieshope, or hunting, or leistering fish, or entering terriers at vermin, or fighting, or going to law, or listening to the reading of a disappointing will, or entertaining the orphan whom others neglect; always delightful he is, always generous, always true, always the Border farmer. There is no better stock of men, none less devastated by \u201cthe modern spirit.\u201d His wife is worthy of him, and has that singular gentleness, kindliness, and dignity which prevail on the Border, even in households far less prosperous than that of Dandie Dinmont. -- [Dr. John Brown\u2019s Ailie, in \u201cRab and his Friends,\u201d will naturally occur to the mind of every reader.]", "start_byte": 68069, "end_byte": 71386, "is_quote": false, "start_time": 1347.239990234375, "end_time": 1551.6800537109375, "cut_start_time": 1347.694990234375, "cut_end_time": 1551.020115234375}, {"text": "Among Scott\u2019s \u201ccharacter parts,\u201d or types broadly humorous, few have been more popular than Dominie Sampson.

Yes, I will reform your education upward from the true knowledge of English grammar even to that of the Hebrew or Chaldaic tongue.\u2019", "start_byte": 891322, "end_byte": 892462, "is_quote": true, "start_time": 401.1199951171875, "end_time": 467.0, "cut_start_time": 401.25499511718755, "cut_end_time": 466.8100576171875, "narrative_prediction": {}}, {"text": "\u2018My dear sir,", "start_byte": 894032, "end_byte": 894045, "is_quote": true, "start_time": 558.7999877929688, "end_time": 559.8800048828125, "cut_start_time": 559.1349877929688, "cut_end_time": 559.9801127929687, "narrative_prediction": {}}, {"text": "\u2018you have forgot our vigils last night, and have hardly allowed me time to comb my hair, although you must be sensible how it stood on end at the various wonders which took place.\u2019", "start_byte": 894071, "end_byte": 894251, "is_quote": true, "start_time": 561.1199951171875, "end_time": 569.9199829101562, "cut_start_time": 561.3249951171875, "cut_end_time": 569.6400576171875, "narrative_prediction": {"said": {"id": "0", "type": "verb", "confidence": 10}}}, {"text": "\u2018It is with the inside of your head that I have some business at present, Julia; I will return the outside to the care of your Mrs. Mincing in a few minutes.\u2019", "start_byte": 894253, "end_byte": 894411, "is_quote": true, "start_time": 569.9199829101562, "end_time": 578.0800170898438, "cut_start_time": 570.2849829101563, "cut_end_time": 577.3701079101563, "narrative_prediction": {"said": {"id": "1", "type": "verb", "confidence": 10}}}, {"text": "\u2018Lord, papa,", "start_byte": 894413, "end_byte": 894425, "is_quote": true, "start_time": 578.0800170898438, "end_time": 579.1599731445312, "cut_start_time": 578.2350170898437, "cut_end_time": 579.1000170898437, "narrative_prediction": {}}, {"text": "\u2018think how entangled all my ideas are, and you to propose to comb them out in a few minutes!

Almost stupefied with surprise and fear, the young ladies watched with anxious looks the course of Bertram, his companion, and their extraordinary guide. Her tall figure moved across the wintry heath with steps so swift, so long, and so steady that she appeared rather to glide than to walk. Bertram and Dinmont, both tall men, apparently scarce equalled her in height, owing to her longer dress and high head-gear. She proceeded straight across the common, without turning aside to the winding path by which passengers avoided the inequalities and little rills that traversed it in different directions. Thus the diminishing figures often disappeared from the eye, as they dived into such broken ground, and again ascended to sight when they were past the hollow.

Hatteraick himself, his mate Vanbeest Brown, and three others, of whom the declarant was one, went into the adjacent woods to communicate with some of their friends in the neighbourhood. They fell in with Kennedy unexpectedly, and Hatteraick and Brown, aware that he was the occasion of their disasters, resolved to murder him. He stated that he had seen them lay violent hands on the officer and drag him through the woods, but had not partaken in the assault nor witnessed its termination; that he returned to the cavern by a different route, where he again met Hatteraick and his accomplices; and the captain was in the act of giving an account how he and Brown had pushed a huge crag over, as Kennedy lay groaning on the beach, when Glossin suddenly appeared among them. To the whole transaction by which Hatteraick purchased his secrecy he was witness. Respecting young Bertram, he could give a distinct account till he went to India, after which he had lost sight of him until he unexpectedly met with him in Liddesdale. Gabriel Faa farther stated that he instantly sent notice to his aunt Meg Merrilies, as well as to Hatteraick, who he knew was then upon the coast; but that he had incurred his aunt\u2019s displeasure upon the latter account. He concluded, that his aunt had immediately declared that she would do all that lay in her power to help young Ellangowan to his right, even if it should be by informing against Dirk Hatteraick; and that many of her people assisted her besides himself, from a belief that she was gifted with supernatural inspirations. With the same purpose, he understood his aunt had given to Bertram the treasure of the tribe, of which she had the custody. Three or four gipsies, by the express command of Meg Merrilies, mingled in the crowd when the custom-house was attacked, for the purpose of liberating Bertram, which he had himself effected. He said, that in obeying Meg\u2019s dictates they did not pretend to estimate their propriety or rationality, the respect in which she was held by her tribe precluding all such subjects of speculation. Upon farther interrogation, the witness added, that his aunt had always said that Harry Bertram carried that round his neck which would ascertain his birth.
