To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
His writers, advocates, and judges have living tones and faces, and can hide nothing from him. From Pleydell to Meiklewham, and from Saddletree to the judge in The Two Drovers, each of them speaks in the accent that is natural, not only to himself, but to the particular stratum 334 SCOTT : THE WAVERLEY NOVELS of the profession that he inhabits. Nowhere is the keeping so perfect ; nowhere does the words flow with such tireless ease. But Scott also uses the hard legal facts of marriage, inheritan...ce, and crime for the warp of his stories. The Heart of Midlothian and St. Ronan's Well turn on technical points, and some of their best scenes succeed in dialogue, plot, and characterisation, owing to the author's grasp of practical affairs. The trial of Effie Deans is a less skilful piece of writing than the conference between Francis Tyrrel and Captain Jekyl, where these two gentlemen have to bargain over a delicate, intricate matter of property and legitimacy. In such a situation the pride and passions of men must face at every point the solid edges of a legal obstacle.
