"Sir Walter Scott first introduced her to the writing of fiction. About 1827 a neighbour lent her sister a copy of Waverley, which had to be returned before the slow-reading Mary Anne had finished it. In her distress she began to write out the story herself." Gordon S. Haight, George Eliot: A Biography. Oxford University Press 1968. p. 7.
