MYTH an innate gift for ro-
wv nance. Walter Scott spent
his childhood under in
~fluences that made for its
development He was in infancy
lulled 10 sleep by old Scotch folk
songs. and at his mothers knee
heard romantic ballads and tales or
border warfare. The education in
romance that his mother began
others around him carried on.
Crippled in his early years and
being taken down with a long and
serious illness. he was not held 20
strict account in his school work.
Fearful lest he be overtaxed. his
parents left him largely 10 his own
inclinations IN the matter OF study.
And the major course OF his election
was romance. AS a small boy he
listened with rapt attention TO the
tales and legends told him and as
soon as he could read he hungrily
seized upon and devoured from first
word TO last all romantic stories
within reach.
While his education IN school was
several times interrupted BY long
absences spent at home or on visits
% his grandfather's place. "Sandie
knOwe." or on health-seeking trips
more remote. Walter SCOTS educa-
ton in a went on without
break. At home his relatives con
tinued TO feed his craving for re-
nance with thrilling stories OF the
past. At "Sandie Knowe" his grand
parents and his aunt and the old
people around there eupplied the
eager boy with mor tales OF ro-
nance in old Scotland.
And on his more distant trip he
met a veteran OF North European
wars. named Dalgetty. and other
