Excerpt from The Bible in Waverley: Or Sir Walter Scott's Use of the Sacred Scriptures

During the last illness of Sir Walter Scott at Abbots ford, we are told by his biographer and son-in-law, Mr. Lockhart, that the great novelist, feeling a little brighter and better one morning, desired to be placed by the central window of the library that he might be able to look down upon the Tweed Pleased with the sight of the river which he loved so well, and soothed by the murmur of its waters, the invalid next expressed a wish to have something read to him. On being asked what book he would like, Need you ask 1 he replied, there is but one. The Bible was accordingly brought, and the fourteenth chapter of St. John's Gospel was read. Well, this is a great comfort, Sir Walter remarked, as Lockhart closed the book, I have followed you dis tinctly, and feel as if I were yet to be myself again.
