CHAPTER XXXIII. SCOTT GETS INTO SOCIETY.
Four days later, Scott received the following note:
"Dear Scott: I am at the Windsor Hotel. Can you call this evening? Windermere."
Scott lost no time in responding to the invitation. He was greeted with the greatest cordiality.
"I am delighted to see you," said the earl. "I missed you more than I anticipated after you left me. Now I have a favor to ask."
"What is it?" asked Scott.
"I have taken a suite of rooms here, and I have set aside a bedroom for you. I shall be in the city for four weeks, and I want you with me."
