Guy Mannering, by Walter Scott

I wanted to read this story after learning (thanks to Freekibble.com!) that the Dandie Dinmont Terrier was named after a character in it. While I did enjoy the story, it took me a long time (for me, that meant over a week) to get through it due to the language. There wasn't anything wrong with the language, it's just that I sometimes have trouble understanding the English used in classic works, and this particular work included quite a lot of words using Scottish accents, which made my understanding of it even more difficult. But as I said, I did enjoy the story over all, especially, of course, the scenes with Dandie Dinmont. :-)
