144 LIFE OF SIR WALTER SCOTT. CHAPTER V. MAY, 1B18— DINNEE AT MR HOME DRUMMOND's — SCOTT's BDINBUB6H DEN — DETAILS OF HIS DOMESTIC LIFE IN CASTLE STREET — HIS SUNDAY DINNERS — HIS EVENING DRIVES, ETC. — HIS CONDUCT IN THE GENERAL SOCIETY OF EDINBURGH — DINNERS AT JOHN BALLANTYNE's VILLA — AND AT JAMES BALLANTYNE's IN ST JOHN STREET ON THE AP- PEARANCE OF A NEW NOVEL — ANECDOTES OF THE.BALLAN- TITNES, AND OF CONSTABLE. On the 12th of May, as we have seen, Scott left Abbotsford, for the summer se...ssion in Edinburgh. At this moment, his position, take it for all in all, was, I am inclined to believe, what no other man had ever won for himself by the pen alone. His works were the daily food, not only of his countrymen, but of all educated Europe. His society was courted by whatever England could show of eminence. Station, power, wealth, beauty, and genius strove with each other in every demonstration of respect and worship — and, a few political fanatics and envious poetasters apart, wherever he appeared in town or in country, whoever had Scotch blood in him, "gentle or simple^" felt it move more rapidly through his veins when he was in the presence of Scott.
