I May Not Be Worthy Enough To Fetch His Slippers

But I can own them

A pair of slippers worn by Sir Walter Scott is expected to fetch several thousand pounds at auction.
The famous writer’s footwear will go under the hammer at Edinburgh’s Shapes auctioneers on 1 March.
The slippers were gifted to Scott in 1830 after visitors to his Abbotsford home in the Borders were dismayed at the state of the ones he was wearing.


Hmmm, build up a roaring fire, pour yourself a wee dram and settle in in the library to read Rob Roy in your nice comfy slippers
Works for me.

    Aren’t they a little fragile for that sort of treatment?
