Excerpt: ... real estate: an unromantic story Chapter I "then climate" (says Emerson) "is a great impediment to idle persons." Neither Mrs. Smithson nor Caroline Mathers had crossed the doorstep since Friday morning. It was now Monday afternoon, and three days of unceasing rain had made their situation pretty nearly intolerable. If you have a grudge against anyone they can do nothing right--just as, when in sympathy with them, it is difficult to believe they can be in the wrong. Mrs. Smithson sitting cubelike in an easychair beside a small coal fire, looked across at Miss Mathers, her dire companion, indignant because she was silent, although half an hour ago she had been indignant at her for "chattering." Miss Mathers, on the cold side of the room, aware of a draught at the back of her neck, kept looking steadfastly at the bit of work--a piece of Irish crochet--with which her hands were occupied. All the time she was searing her employer with criticism. "She a Christian! A sea-anemone is as much of one! She just sits in that chair all day, and knits, and blinks, and sleeps, and wakens to eat and say something viperish, and then goes to bed.

"I wonder," she was thinking, "that a woman calling herself a Christian like Caroline Mathers can put off her time and put out her eyes with that Irish crochet! A collar like that is most unsuitable at her age." Aloud she remarked: "Put a little more coal on the fire, ...

Thus, as well as such major writers as Robert Henryson, William Dunbar, Gavin Douglas, Allan Ramsay, Robert Fergusson, Robert Burns, Walter Scott, Robert Louis Stevenson and Hugh MacDiarmid, the Companion also lists many minor writers whose work might otherwise have been overlooked in any survey of Scottish literature.

Other essays range over such general subjects as the principal work of major writers, literary movements, historical events, the world of printing and publishing, folklore, journalism, drama and Gaelic. A feature of the book is the inclusion of the bibliography of each writer and reference to the major critical works.
