Dr. and Mrs. Rutherford had two sons and three daughters, but in 1805 the elder son, John, a boy of seventeen, was lost in the shipwreck of an East Indiaman commanded by John Wordsworth, a brother of the famous poet. After his words of sympathy to William Wordsworth, Scott wrote, .. . The same dreadful catastrophe deprived me of a near relation, a delightful and promising youth, the hope and pride of his parents. He had just obtained a cadetship, and parted from us all in the ardor of youthful hope and expectation, leaving his father (a brother of my mother) almost heartbroken at his departure.. . (35). Fourteen years later Scott said, when writing to his son at the time of Dr. Rutherford s death, Since you knew him, his health was broken and his spirits dejected, which may be traced to the loss of his eldest son. . . (30).

If you still can t get started, consider taking a walk—around the office or around the block. The German novelist Thomas Maim said Thoughts come clearly while one walks. William Wordsworth, the English poet, composed most of his poetry while walking. He memorized it and put it in writing once he returned home (Johnson 2009).
